Hi Everyone, I had a new client call me today! He would like me to do some cold calls for him on an ongoing basis. How would you charge? Hourly or by the call? What do you all think? Thank you.

Hourly - 15 minute increments. There is no way to know how long any given call will last... __________________ Lily E.

Hourly will make tracking easier though. __________________ Amanda Moore Virtual Assistant VagabondetteVA Blog

I agree with the others, hourly in set increments would be my own preference. __________________ Get listed in the ultimate virtual assistant directory: Virtual Assistantville
