Questions about profitability for consultancies
- Does a higher consulting day rate guarantee a better margin?
- No. Margin also depends on delivery effort and project expenses. Check recorded preparation and follow-up time alongside the fee. Use the project result as evidence for your next quote rather than assuming the rate tells the whole story.
- Can a finished workshop still leave a weak project margin?
- Yes. Preparation, follow-up and agreed expenses can consume more of the fee than the workshop itself. Review those records before pricing a similar engagement.
