• Sponsorship vs consulting ads for a data consultant in Ghana

  I run a data consultancy in Accra. Sponsorship is the cheap one I can quote and deliver fast; ads are where the margins are but a 3-month retainer could fall through. My onboarding is already the bottleneck.

• Retainer pricing: monthly or per-project?

  I mostly do one-off projects but two clients want me on retainer. I don't know if I should quote a flat monthly number or bill hours against a minimum each month. Trying to work out which one keeps me from resenting the…

• Sponsors vs. my own recurring offer — what's actually worked for you?

• How much should an executive coach charge for a 12-week programme?

  This comes up more than anything else, so here is a starting frame rather than a number. Hourly pricing caps you at your calendar and makes the client buy *time*, which is the one thing neither of you wants to be…
