01  How do we start the process?

​

We start our business relationship and my meeting your training and speaking needs with a discussion of your event or challenges. I like to have new clients fill out a Pre-Client Questionnaire.  This form asks you a variety of questions about your needs, your audience and the goals of your event.  From our conversation(s) and this questionnaire, I draft a Proposal/Contract that details what services I would provide and our mutual responsibilities as Client and Vendor.  The first step is to contact me to start the conversation. 

 

 

 

 02  What are your rates?

​

My rates vary depending on the type of services and the subject of the workshop or keynote - some titles have more materials involved than others. Workshops fees are by the half day (under 3.5 hours) or the full day (4 hours or more). Half-Day workshops range between $1,600 and $5,000 and Full-Day workshops range from $2,100 to $10,000.  These rates are for up to 25 attendees.  For workshop groups larger than this, there is a nominal fee to cover extra materials and supplies, usually $5-10 per extra person above 25.

 

Please contact me to discuss the rates for keynote speaking and consultation services.

 

 

 

 03  Do you provide discount opportunities?

​

Yes. As one who is familiar with the in-kind requirements of Head Start Programs, I give a 50% automatic in-kind discount from my business rates to eligible Head Start programs. This is detailed on the invoice and I am happy to provide any additional documentation on the in-kind discount.

 

Likewise, I provide clients the opportunity to actualize a 10-20% discount of service fees for pre-payment.  And very often, for long term and repeat clients, I offer "Great Client" discounts. 

 

 

 

 04  Can a client pay by credit card?

​

Yes.  I have the ability to send clients electronic invoices through my Square Store.  Just inform me at the time of contract signing and I will forward the invoice for payment by credit card.

 

 

 

 05  How far in advance of our event date should we contact you?

​

I like to have the final Pre-Client Questionnaire -- not all details might be known at first contact -- within two weeks of any training or speaking event.  This allows me to do any customization of your presentation and fully prepare. However, if you want a fully customized presentation or workshop, it's best to contact me several months in advance.  I need time to learn and understand your training needs and your audience to be an effective educator.
