Am I charging to Low for my I.T. Consulting Services….

by barrybartlett . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hello, I would like to get some constructive feedback on Whether or not I am charging too low for my I.T. Consulting Services. I charge a rate of $75.00 per hour per consultant with a 4 hour minumum per call. Is this too low? We can pretty much support any type of environment like Exchange 2003, Windows Server, Win XP OS, LINUX, etc. I have been told by a very important role model in my life (and fellow consultant) that these low rates do kind of “pollute” the Consulting industry and create allot of “stupid competition” and in the end can cause even the smaller type businesses to NOT trust other IT Consultants.

Problem is if I do go higher, I probably won’t be able to keep allot of my current clients and it will be harder to get those larger corporate type businesses out there since I am such a smaller company.

Thanks for your feedback guys…

Barry,
