    Charging travel to clients

    When I buy these services I don't (or rather my client doesn't) pay for the time, though will pay travel expenses where agreed in advance and where they're in accordance with the client's travel policy. When I'm out on the consultancy side I tend not to charge travel time, though will charge...

    Advise please

    I buy these type of services for organizations. I'd be looking at contracting under staged payments against deliverables, so split out the work into stages / phases and agree payment against delivery of each, with x% to be paid on final delivery.

    Blinking heck! Sorry, should've proofread that one. Posted on my phone and it's come out with the wrong opening words for sure. I was aiming for "Thank you for noting...". Blinking heck. My apologies as it reads so rude.

    Ah. Thank you fur nothing. Checked my profile. Will update it as we wound up that business. It was 'hosting' but squeezed out by the big ones, and other businesses more effective.

    Thank you. Noted. We're onto it. The previous was (with hindsight) not the best, but we'd never had to rely on it so not such an issue. Now we want it to be our shop front, hence taking it down and rewriting before putting it out there, however your point is taken and we'll fix it. Will check...

    Thank you. Good to know. The aim was to get it back up before we started this phase. Will put it at the top of the project pile.

    It's down for maintenance / a rewrite, though should appear with words to that effect. I'll investigate, thank you.

    More food for thought, thank you. I'm thinking I need to be (much!) clearer on our offerings and determine what fits in which group. Definitely starting to properly consider what we would be selling in a network group, e.g. the tendering support. I feel a large whiteboard session coming on!

    Thank you all. This has been incredibly useful. Definitely food for thought and a reset of what size organizations we can and should be aiming at. One of our (my) particular drivers is wanting to help organizations in submitting tenders. As the person who receives these on the other end, I'd...

    They can if we flex our pricing structure, which we're willing to do as a) we want to be more flexible in how we work, i.e. more 'ad hoc' clients rather than running (large organizations) major programmes, and b) we believe in giving something back - whilst they probably couldn't afford our...

    Thank you. Extremely useful thoughts. We've previously focused on the large organizations but want to go with the, to us, smaller ones. Sorry, I'm not wording this very well. I think the cold has addled my brain. Will go drink Lemsip and hopefully come back a bit more coherent!

    Thank you. Maybe I've been out of the 'small' end for too long and no longer comprehend company size with any clarity. Will address it.

    I'm not sure if that's a dig (can't think why you would, but the internet can be a strange place). Had a Google of BNI and on first glance I'm not sure it's what we're looking for.

    Thank you :) It's on my list. Need to run it past my partner, but I think he'll approve.

    Thank you. I admit I hadn't thought of rocking up unless a member, and didn't want to fork out for various memberships until I had a taste of what would work for us. I'll get in touch will all you've suggested and get along to their next meets.
