Bookkeepers On Fire with Deb & Donna ·

2025/01/15

A few questions: 1) Do you do a quick Discovery Call first to see if you even like them and would want to work with them. 2) The point of the Discovery Call is to sell the Strategy Call? 3) Do you provide the price at the end of the Strategy Call while still on zoom with them? 4) Do they usually decide on the

Would you charge a flat fee, hourly, or do you think it’s ridiculous that I want to charge a “training” fee? Curious your thoughts."Check out the

Transitioning to Flat Fee

Bookkeepers On Fire with Deb & Donna ·

2024/12/18
