Value-Based Fees clearly explains how to charge for your value--and get--what you're worth, providing the kind of nontheoretical, pragmatic advice that will help to improve any consultant's practice immediately., In this third book in The Ultimate Consultant series, Alan Weiss-one of the most widely-renowned independent consultants in the country-shows consultants how to raise their fees in a way that creates a win-win, "good deal" dynamic with clients. Moving beyond the old "time plus materials" concept of consulting charges, Value-Based Fees explains how to establish fees based on value delivered to improve the client's condition. Using interviews, vignettes, and a wealth of practical, hands-on advice, Value-Based Fees reveals how you can: Establish your unique value Educate clients in how value determines worth and thus, their investment Overcome existing clients objections and also find new buyers Set fees for non-consulting opportunities such as speaking, products, and more Praise for Alan Weiss _ The Ultimate Consultant"Alan Weiss is the most successful consultant I know.

- r***1 (179)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1640)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
