Dear Sir's,
I am planning to work as a consultant for a company. I have no prior experience in consultancy. The company is a lab doing analysis of various solids / fluids and gases including chemicals. I shall be talking to the clients / or meeting them personally and convincing them to send their samples for analysis to the lab. The samples could be few or many depending upon the need of the customer and could be onetime or an ongoing process continuing for years with the quantum of samples being varied depending upon the tests to be carried out and the charges for same accordingly. There could also be a possibility of me getting the lab and the customer into a agreement for certain number of samples in a year of duration.
Request you to please guide me professionally as to the method for charging the client since i would be associating the probable customers with the lab and at times would not be able to know the quantum of samples since they could also directly deal with the lab. Also this would be a long term association with the lab so the methodology to follow to charge them whether onetime per new client or on the basis of received samples over a period of time.
Awaiting your professional inputs
