Per Minute Billing
Easy Fees, and OIS (Other Important Stuff)
 |
Most projects can be valued as either a flat
fee, or by using our signature Per Minute Billing. The time-based
system makes professional consulting services accessible for
projects of less than one hour. Frequent uses of Per
Minute Billing are: Business writing services, technology
help, research and guidance, mystery shopping by email/phone,
and creative ideas on demand. Take a look around our website,
and consider which projects you have been procrastinating.
Chances are, Barebones Consulting is your one stop solution.
Customers are so impressed with our efficiency, professionalism
and overall performance, that cost is never an issue, regardless
of how the project is valued. What can we do for you today?
|
|
"Pay as you go" at the time of service; or
pre-pay if necessary (i.e. no check signer available). Some
customers prefer to buy blocks of time, and then use it as
needed. No billing.

In order to keep customer inquiries 100%
Confidential, your first contact (by email or phone) will
be directly with the Founder.
|
|
Established customers have the option of
ongoing support via email, phone, fax, chat, text, IM and
other communication methods. Several out-of-area clients,
and many writing projects, are managed remotely as well, with
few or no in-person visits. Other services (writing, research,
long-term projects, etc.) have specific payment parameters
that fit both the company and the customer.
|
|
We also try to make the "hard part" easy.
Cash, good Checks, Credit Cards, PayPal, eBay, Yahoo, Amazon.com,
Western Union and wire transfers are all accepted. If your
favorite payment form is not listed, we can probably process
it. Barebones Consulting is strategically invested in automation
for basic tasks. In this way, we can offer high-performance
consulting and consistent value to our customers.

Client: "We
are a (small company, large firm, locally-owned, international conglomerate,
church/minority/female-owned, municipality, school district, in
bankruptcy, start-up, etc.). Do you offer discounts for us?"
BB:
"Barebones Consulting
treats every client, regardless of any distinguishing factor, with
equal consideration. This straightforward approach has been called
"refreshing" and "welcomed" by many satisfied customers. We strive
to get you maximum value from every minute you pay for.
**Beginning with the 3rd Quarter of 2008 (Tuesday, July 01), our
basic rates in each service category will increase by 9.5%. This
change will provide both cost recovery - mainly for fuel and health
insurance - and a modest, but well-deserved raise for the consultants.
Please consider this adjustment to be your guarantee of best-quality
service (and finish scheduling your 2nd Quarter projects while we
are still "CHEAP!")**
