What are you worth?

Setting rates is one of the tougher things to do. Go too high and you lose clients. Go too low and you lose money.

The best way to set rates is knowing what you’re worth. What would it cost the clients to pay staff for what you’re doing as an outsourced contractor. Physician’s Practice.com surveyed 1,051 companies over pay scales and found region dictates scale. Bigger cities where it cost more pay more — no surprise there.

It’s worth a few minutes to study the data. Who knows — it may supply you with information needed to convince clients you’re worth more.
