ALAN WEISS – VALUE BASED FEES

Product Description
In this thoroughly revised edition of his classic book, Alan Weiss shows how consulting fees are dependent on only two things: value provided in the perception of the buyer and the intent of the buyer and the consultant to act ethically. Many consultants, however, fail to understand that perceived value is the basis of the fee, or that they must translate the importance of their advice into long-term gains for the client in the client’s perception. Still others fail to have the courage and the belief system that support the high value delivered to clients, thereby reducing fees to a level commensurate with the consultant’s own low self-esteem. Ultimately, says Weiss, consultants, not clients, are the main cause of low consulting fees.

Value-Based Fees
When Value-Based Fees was first published in 2002, it quickly became the go-to book for consultants who needed a reliable resource for determining how much they should charge their clients for their services.

Filled with stories of successful consultants, Value-Based Fees clearly illustrates how consultants can educate their clients about value determining worth and consequent investment.
