Question How to price a retainer package?
Hi, apologies if I am not posting in the right place again but here goes....

I am a newbie and trying build a service portfolio. My ideal client would be a 4 hour week PA/Secretarial Service. I would like to include this in my business plan. Can anyone give me advice on retainers particularly price?

Thank you for the link. Lots of other useful information in there too. I can't see a facebook page. Do you know if there is one.

Hi Ann,
Have you tried searching VAF for the term 'retainer'? Use the SEARCH link at the top right, in the main menu.

Also, scanning threads here in the Rates and Billing section should find some conversations devoted to the topic.

Thank you Tess. Can't believe I missed the 'search' option. Think my brain is too fast for my eyes at the moment. Thanks again.
