I am an AG team leader in Wales (free guidance to an all age public) and intending to retire next year (62).I live in England and would like to offer career coaching services to selected client group. I would not know what to charge on a private basis.Please let me know if and when you hear anything. Where are you based? Best wishes. Geert Jan Koning |

Re: Re: Going it alone! |
| Hi Geert, I'm hoping that this forum will encourage a few responses so we'll wait and see. I'm in the West Country. If you let me have your e-mail address, I can forward anything else I get. |

Re: Re: Re: Going it alone! |
Many thanks for your swift reply.
My email address is: jan.koning@careerswalesgwent.org.uk.
My full name is Geertjan but in Britain the hard "G" is difficult so it is "Jan" in work.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Geertjan |

Re: Going it alone! |
| Hi Dee I think the answer to your question is that the rate you can charge is directly related to your reputation, ability and how well known you become. My company has been establishing that reputation for two years and we can charge more now than we did originally. Establishing a "brand" and getting a good name for yourself is a very expensive business. Our brand name at www.careercam.co.uk has cost a great deal of money. Another option which you might consider is to be a self-employed associate using or brand name, advertising and tools which saves you up front costs. Hope this helps Regards John H |

Re: Re: Going it alone! |
| Thanks John, I've managed to get some rates to start off with. Also location is an issue and Cornwall is worse off than most so I will have to cater accordingly. Negotiation is the name of the game, I feel. |

Re: Going it alone! |
| if you look on web sites you will see what other people charge - rates vary from below £30 an hour to over £200. I charge £80 for the first hour and £70 for subsequent hours and all my prices are listed on my web site. |
