Going Rate for Jack-of-all-trades?

6 Mar 2007 16:364 commentsBizLike

I need to negotiate an hourly rate with a previous employer and am not sure where negotiations could start...

I consider myself to be s skilled individual who has completed a B.Comm Hons in Sport and Recreation Management from the University of Pretoria. After 7 years' experience I have just started my own CC and will be offering a wide variety of services to another company at an hourly rate. These services will include various graphic design jobs, project management documentation, branding co-ordination, drafting of Business Plans and invoicing control. All these functions will be performed by myself and I will not be outsourcing any functions. Could someone point me in the right direction rate-wise please?

	running before you can walk- a classic case of jumping in without testing the waters first - if you have experience in all of the areas which you are going to be managing, you would not have to ask your question in the first place as you would know what the industry rates are in relation to expertise and experienced professionals. Good luck Posted on 12 Mar 2007 13:45 Like Reply Report
	You have to start somewhere- Thanks for your response. I have been performing all of the above functions while being on various companies' payrolls i.e earning a monthly salary. All I would like to know is what hourly rate would be suitable should I perform the above functions independently, based on qualification and experience? I really thought that the idea behind a website such as this would be to provide individuals in the marketing industry with a platform to discuss issues such as this? Is there anybody out there who is willing to provide some mentorship? Posted on 12 Mar 2007 14:38 Like Reply Report
	Hourly Rate vs Flat Rate- I'd say a standard hourly rate is R250 -R300 per hour. However in many cases it is more realistic to charge a flat rate i.e. an amount you are comfortable with as repayment for the amount of time you will spend. Different kind of clients also usually get different rates. Posted on 13 Mar 2007 19:53 Like Reply Report
