- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please contact me at quoteme@wordbusters.com for my full catalog. ~ With the exception of new high school graduates ($200), my usual clients are mid-level trade, professionals, and executives, and my price range is $300-$950, depending on services purchased and job complexity, which is normal among my certified professional colleagues. My writing reflects senior-level knowledge and ability and is backed by certifications, training, publications, client and association endorsement, and media coverage. *** If anybody is charging you less, let the buyer beware.*** By Roleta Fowler Vasquez, CPRW, CEIP
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Most of my clients are mid-level through executive professionals with over 10 years of experience. At these levels, clients may have risen through the ranks of one company, built their career with several job changes, or shined as entrepreneurs. Either way, they have earned a substantial amount of experience, skill, training, and many professional accolades. With so much to offer, they now wonder how to showcase themselves to employers who may not want generalists but technology smart, forward thinking specialists who can solve specific problems.
