I'm a consultant, and work by phone only, and I charge $120 an hour, with a one hour minimum. ps - Uh, but I'm not calling to consult with you, I just... me - I'm sorry, but unless you give me your credit card information so that I can charge you the one hour rate of $120 now, I'll have to ask you to not continue. If you or anyone from your company wants to consult with me about any topic, don't call back unless you're prepared to pay my consultation fee. Now would you like to give me your credit card info, so we can continue? Usually a quick hang up from them is the result, and I almost never get a repeat call from the same number. Effective and fun, but so far no one has ever agreed to pay the fee. Too bad. HA! My favorite, fun way to deal with all phone solicitors follows;
