Internet Marketing – Why quoting an hourly rate can be fatal for your business -1

Mark Wickersham (UK):

In this post I want to share why it’s
crazy – even fatal – to quote an hourly
rate. And, to prove it, I’ll give you
three very good reasons.

#1 There’s no value in hourly rates
Quoting an hourly rate doesn’t convey
any value. Think about it: your clients
don’t buy time.
They don’t wake up in
the morning, remember they’ve got a
meeting with you, and think,
“Fantastic! I’m off to buy an hour of
my accountant’s time.”
No one does! There’s no value in time,
so it makes no sense to quote an hourly
rate.
