Reduced to an hourly rate
By doing so we agree to become a commodity.
We deny the potential for real value.
Yet we are so conditioned to do this.
Perhaps instead we take the time at the front end, and then ongoing through the course of our engagement, to find out what is most wanted, how the hiring agent will know that what you have done has been extraordinary.
If it takes 5 minutes, backed by thirty years of experience, to deliver what it might take someone else 3 weeks, is it worth it?
What do you want, and for this, what are you prepared to pay?
Know, in gritty detail what is wanted. Then deliver.
