| Frequently Asked Questions |
|
What are your fees for services? All fees for
services are negotiated on the
basis of a flat rate. There
are no contingency fees. Our
fees may be structured by the hour, half-day, full-day and by the
project. After being in the consulting business for 20 years, we know a
fair rate when we see one...and usually we are the ones offering it.
Not only do we offer rates to suit any client, we
never charge for our initial consultation.
See if any other consulting firms make this offer.
How can I be sure of your work? If you ever want to
judge the quality of
consultants, ask to see samples of their work and talk to their former
clients. The vast majority of our contracts come from repeat business
and from word-of-mouth referrals. Once people learn about the quality
and value of our work, not
only do they keep coming back for more, but they also recommend us to
everyone they know.
How can you offer so many different services? Because of our
mission to be a one-stop
source for all your research, evaluation and training needs, we have
assembled a network of professionals who have several decades of
experience in these fields. All of our resource
partners are chosen for
what they bring to the table: expertise in their chosen field, a
strong, research background, effective interpersonal skills and the
ability to quickly identify needs and solve problems.
When should I hire a consultant? Our answer is "As
soon as possible." Many
people think that the time to bring in a consultant is at the end of a
project or after one has already started. In actuality, the
sooner you bring us in, the more that we can do for you in
your program development and planning. This is especially true for
program evaluation for which people often leave as the last thing they
need to do. Since we typically offer many services that are difficult
to obtain in-house, it is best that you call us now and let us help you
plan ahead for them.
How do I get more information? We have several, convenient ways of contacting us: on-line request form, e-mail, regular mail and telephone.. Go to our Contact page to find out more.
