Hourly fees vs. flat fees and how to handle the generalist within. Award winning Australian designer, Marylou Sobel, was more confused than ever after listening to a specific Business of Design™ Podcast about flat fees. Kimberley answers her questions and provides a better understanding of which fee structure works best. In this episode we learn: - when you set an hourly fee, it is built for profit, not just for covering overhead - some clients like flat fees and some like hourly fees, there is no one-size-fits-all - when in doubt, hourly fees are less risk to the design professional - handling a client who wants you to deviate from your process - specialists make more money than generalists - follow BOD™ 15 Step Project Management Strategy as prescribed - full service means nothing It’s time to take control of your business.
