11. Things to Think About More of us are moving to unbundled menu-style pricing Questions to Ask: For those charging extra for Account management – how are you getting $20k/year? For tiered agencies: How do Account Management tiers affect service? Are clients willing to purchase the higher tiers? If a customer pays for one of the lower tiers, how does the agency handle denying requests for items included in the higher tiers? For agencies with multiple fees: How often do you field questions from travelers who are confused by multiple fee schedules? For all of us: ―Has anyone successfully collected the per hour project/consultation fee ―Who has a clear idea about the actual cost of Account Management? How do you determine your fee? ―Has anyone else attempted the Percentage of Sales model? ―Only 9 agencies charge for on-line implementation?
