How Do You Price Your HR Consulting Services?

I had a conversation recently with a client of mine and told her about how, many years ago, when I started out in business, I charged $150 per hour for HR consulting services.

Some of my very first consulting gigs were for 3 or so hours of work.

3 x $150 = $450.

Problem was, I had to factor in travel time to get to and from the client’s office.

Plus, before a client site visit, you’re not really working on anything else. You’re preparing mentally and getting documents ready.

So, really, my 3-hour consulting gigs were close to a full day but for only 3 billable hours.

šŸ™

Last week, I had a Zoom meeting with a larger client of mine.

They have just closed a 6-figure HR consulting deal (not hourly billing).

They also have the potential to turn that into a 7-figure deal (yes, that’s more than 1 million dollars) if they do a good job which I know they will because I’m lucky enough to only work with good HR companies that always deliver.

The money’s good but the cool thing is that the consulting work is exciting too.

šŸ™‚

So, as you can tell, I’m not a big fan of hourly billing.

You’re probably not a fan of it either, I know, and you’re probably using retainers and/or project rates.

However, what is a good rate for your services and how high can you go?

“How much should we charge for HR consulting services?”

A Powerful Question To Help You Reflect On Your HR-Related Business

I want to explore a thought-provoking question that has been on my mind. This question can help you reflect on your HR-related business and identify areas for improvement.

The question is . . .

If you sold your business, what would a new owner change about the business to make it more successful?

I was inspired to ask this question after observing a transformation in a corner store near my home. The store used to be a dusty, run-of-the-mill establishment that sold basic necessities like newspapers, milk, and bread.

However, after being purchased by new owners, the store underwent a complete makeover.

The new owners introduced a fresh design, new decor, and updated branding, including new logos. They also expanded the product line to include hot sandwiches, premium items, Italian wines, cheeses, and a high-quality coffee machine. The store became a bustling hub of activity, creating jobs and community involvement.

Every time I drive by the store, I wonder what the previous owner would think of it now.

You can find the show here on iTuneson Spotifyon Google Podcastson Stitcher, and on other podcast players.

So, if you were to sell your HR business, what changes would a new owner implement to make it more successful?

  • Would they remove products and services?
  • Would the new owners change the structure of the products and services?
  • Would they increase the prices?
  • Would they decrease prices?
  • Would they add staff?
  • Would they remove staff?
  • Would they move to an outsourced model?
  • Would they move to an in-source model?
  • Would they look to break it up into smaller pieces and sell it off?
  • Would they look to change their focus to a particular industry or a market segment?
  • Would they focus on consulting projects or would they focus on recurring revenue or would they focus on product sales or training?
  • Would they try and get the entry-level product and then make more money on the back-end sales?
  • Would they try to look at creating more partnerships with other companies in the industry?
  • Would they be looking at creating more thought leadership to raise the profile of the business?
  • Would they look to add technology or marketing tools to improve the flow and the process and the management of the business?
  • Would they add more paid advertising and promotion?
  • Would they productize or systemize your business with a view to reducing their involvement in the running of the business?
  • Would they try and get the systems in place for the business with a view to selling it quickly?

Stepping back and examining your business from an outsider’s perspective can be extremely helpful.

Try imagining what changes a new owner would make if they took over your HR business.

You might be surprised to discover that there are simple, low-cost ways to add value and improve the overall success of your business.

Take some time to reflect on this question and if you need help, please do get in touch!

All the best,

Don Phin (HR Entrepreneur & Speaker) On How Our Lives Are Governed By The Stories We Tell Ourselves

I was delighted to be joined on the A Better HR Business show by Don Phin, HR entrepreneur, speaker, author, and mental fitness coach for executives.

Don Phin has been a California employment practices attorney since 1983. He litigated cases for 17 years, figured out how ridiculous it all was, and decided to help employees and companies avoid destructive dramas.

Don Phin

In 2002 Don built HR That Works which he sold to ThinkHR in 2014 (and ThinkHR became part of Mineral recently). After two years as a VP on the ThinkHR executive team, Don left as planned to begin his newest work on his most recent program, Great HR.

Don has written 6 books on the workplace, created dozens of training programs, and presented to hundreds of CEO, HR, and insurance groups. His goal is to help companies build powerful employment relationships that grow careers and the bottom line.

His book, ‘The 40/40 Solution: Mastering Emotional Energy in Leadership and Sales’ is the solution to ending painful and destructive dramas, whether in the boardroom, in coaching sessions, sales meetings, at home, or in conversations with yourself. Unlike most emotional intelligence books that focus on thinking your way through emotional problems, this book helps you learn how to feel your way through them. So that you can feel good about yourself afterward.

Don has created 10 courses for LinkedIn Learning (his programs there have had around 1 million views so far). He recently finished recording and producing the LinkedIn Learning program on Transferable Skills. LinkedIn has asked him to do a new program about Building a Skills-Based Organization.

In a wide-ranging discussion, Don and I talked about:

  • Transitioning from law attorney to the HR world.
  • Don has presented over 600 times -two-thirds of which have been to Vistage CEO groups – this has created a unique opportunity to understand the needs & wants of top leaders.
