Pricing for Consulting by Jayne Cravens


I charge either by the hour or a flat fee by project, depending on the consultation or workshop. Charges vary depending on the length of the consulting, how much new material I am asked to develop or how much I need to customize or rewrite materials or presentations, how much travel is involved (if any), etc.

Note that I always require that all travel costs (including travel to and from airports from my home, hotels or consultation sites) to be covered by the client. Because of past problems regarding travel reimbursements, I now require clients to pay all airline and hotel costs up front, or to provide a stipend upfront for me to pay the costs (I will not pay airline or hotel costs and then wait for reimbursement).

A great way to lower your costs regarding hiring me as a consultant is to help me book other consulting gigs in your geographic area; having multiple clients in one area helping to pay travel costs, instead of just one agency, can make it much more affordable. Another way to lower your costs is to view my what's new page or my public calendar to see if I might already be traveling to your area.

Another way to lower costs is for me to do an online workshop / consultation for your organization.

SPECIAL OFFERS :

If your group (association, university class, etc.) is in the USA or Canada and the group you may want to receive one of my trainings is an audience that will be at least one third African American, Latino and/or American Indian/Native American, I will give you a special, reduced rate for an online or onsite training. This is per my commitment to helping African American, Latino and American Indian/Native American managers in nonprofits, civic organizations, government programs and schools in particular to build their capacities regarding communications and/or volunteer engagement, and to cultivate far more trainers and consultants from these communities.

If your group is in a country that is classified as a Least Developed Country or a country less than .700 on UNDP's Human Development Index, I will waive all fees for two 90 minute workshops and charge only for transportation (including airfare and on-the-ground transportation in the USA to and from airports) and the UN's DSA rate for every day of travel or work (minimum four days) - I will waive all my consulting fees.

Please contact me for more information about my special rates for your audience.

I will consider doing one pro bono webinar (online workshop from my home in Oregon) for your organization of up to 45 minutes for a subject on which I already have a presentation prepared if:
I will also consider doing a workshop up to 90 minutes for an honorarium that is less than my day rate under some circumstances, but the amount must, at least, absolutely cover absolutely cover all of my travel, accommodation and food expenses. Other circumstances will also apply (such as how many paid employees you have, what you are charging people to attend the workshop, etc.).

Please remember that consulting is my living and I cannot pay my mortgage, utility bills, house repairs, health insurance costs, health costs not covered by insurance, food, and other essentials to live with "exposure" and good intentions.

SIGNED AGREEMENT :

There must be a SIGNED agreement for a speaking or training gig to be finalized - even one at a reduced rate. The agreement should have your organization's name, my name, the date of the event, a summary of what you want me to do (30 minute keynote speech, 90 minute presentation on whatever subject, etc.) details about payment, details about who is responsible for making travel arrangements and who is paying for such, cancellation policy, etc. I am very generous about cancellation of an event **IF** I am not out of any money - in other words, if we have a signed agreement and you need to cancel BEFORE I have paid for a flight, a rental car, etc., that is very likely going to be okay with me. But without a signed agreement that clearly lays out terms, I don't know how "real" your invitation to present is. 


ASK FOR A QUOTE OR PROPOSE A FEE :

You can ask for a quote or you can tell me your budget and what you are hoping for per that budget. Quite honestly, I prefer the latter.

For a quote regarding my services, please contact me with your full name, the full name of your organization, the dates you have in mind, however general, and as much detail as possible regarding your needs and what kind of consultation on my part you have in mind. Please be as detailed as possible. Also see a list of workshops and panel discussions I have lead for various organizations, and for international, national and major regional conferences.

For updates about my availability, check my public calendar.

Here is a list of my workshops to date, onsite or online.
