I am shocked by the prices being charged by fellow lecturers for their services.
I do not ask for a price because I have my own business from which I derive income. I would get about P5k to P10k for a whole day of lecture and presentation. For BP I charge P50,000 on staggered basis.
Cheap hindi ba. May mga kaibigan akong doctor, na nagtatanong ng advice pa dinner nga lang. And then pag nagpatingin ka may charge... How unfair yata. Or I should charge the correct value for my knowledge and expertise...
My former subordinate charge P100,000 for out of MM speaking engagement. There was a BP for a memorial park na ang charge ay P200,000 for a bank loan, and even then the loan was not granted.
How much should be the fair amount to be charged.?... Or huwag na lang tumanggap ng engagement?

Why consultancy should never be free or cheap, or why sometimes it wont work

I have been engaged in several lectures, joining leading strategic conference workshops and engaged in consultancy. These are some of my observations/consultation
1. A cheap consultancy fee or pro bono ones will not work. Since it costs the company zero or since it is
cheap, the top management or the organization will not value it and hence will not pay attention
2. You conduct a training session and the participants go back to the same situation, nothing will change
unless there is a change in culture or environment
3. Change is not a one shot one day deal. It takes time and perseverance to achieve this.
4. The ego of the founder or the top management will come into play. "Those were the days" Bakit mas marunong pa iyang outsider sa atin.
Remember, as in the classroom, the protagonist, the student, the owner will only accept what he wants to accept. Its what he accepts and buys that counts not what you teach.
Sometimes for the consultants who do not understand well the company situation, and/or its uniqueness, they will come out with copy paste soltuion ie - this has worked before in other companies, it may work for you. Each problem and difficulty is unique (even the family owner dynamics will be strategic issue) and takes a long time to resolve and implement.
