Throw away the fruitcake practices of the past. This holiday season, give yourself and your client the gift that keeps giving, by moving beyond the "rates" conversation to invest your firms in providing what you value, determining what the work is worth to you, and scoping the work and process you're willing to pay your firms to deliver: on budget and aligned with your desired results.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanza, Peace on Earth, Happy Sledding, and a "fruitful" New Year to you all!
