Frequently asked questions
Why discount retainers at all?
You're selling two things: forecastable income for you and guaranteed availability for them. The discount is the smaller half of that trade — and it beats ad-hoc work that arrives with re-briefing overhead.
How big should the discount be?
10-15% is the honest range — enough to make it an easy yes, small enough that a full month of their work still beats filling the same hours with new ad-hoc clients.
