What METHOD / Forms of PAYMENT do you accept?
We'd prefer that you pay by responding to a Paypal Invoice that we will email you.
If
you can't do that, then we'll accept other methods, but they take more time, which means that
the online consultation meetings would be delayed.
After a repetitive, long-term
working relationship is established with a client, we could take payment after the service,
within 2 weeks, in the form of check or electronic transfer.
Can you give us an idea of HOW YOU PRICE your consulting service?
Profit isn’t the prime objective of this consulting service. The payment rates are designed
to give priority to failure cases that have a greater impact on the client’s business or on
mankind.
The initial consultations for describing the problem and gathering facts,
are always provided free of cost. Once Consultant starts to give pointers and advice on
what to do and how to go about investigating, asking deeper questions and recommending or
discussing analyses, tests, etc, he will quote an initial amount to be paid before providing
further guidance / consultation. Based on that, Client can decide to either accept or stop
using Consultant's service. Thereafter, if continued, Consultant will periodically quote
amounts to be paid for continued consultation, where the incremental amounts will be
commensurate with the value of the benefit derived from his service.
In what TIMEFRAME can we expect to Achieve RESULTS
The time to resolve a long-standing problem depends on the complexity of the problem, existing
knowledge, ground work already done by the client, resources and priority placed by the
client.
It can be:
• Hours (in rare instances), when the
client already has the expertise, all ground work and data, or if the problem is simple, already
encountered in another application.
• Weeks, if much analytical and test
data has already been gathered by the client’s investigative and testing work.
• Months, if some more testing or analysis is needed.
• Years, if just starting the investigation or if many parties or
companies are involved or if the client is insufficiently equipped with technical resources to
perform the needed analysis, test and data-gathering.
