Costs

As to be expected, costs for such services are dependent upon the nature of the job, its length, necessary travel, etc. It’s helpful to have an idea of your boundaries regarding costs before you begin the negotiation process.

In general, consultants charge by the day (per diem) or by the project. Kinsella offers an example: For catalogers who are scoping out services, he’ll go in for a three- or four-day assessment of company operations, interview employees, and look at their processes and systems. For such a service, he’ll charge a day rate.
