As ergonomic service providers, one of the challenges you’ll face in your consulting business is maintaining a stable cash flow. For many ergonomic consultants, the “feast or famine” cycle is very common. One month you get a big project that takes up all your time, the next, you’re back to searching for new clients. One way you can break this cycle is by developing a retainer-based arrangement with your clients. Using a consulting retainer model allows you to bring in consistent income to keep your consulting business afloat, and in this episode, I’m showing you how to make this type of model work for you.
