How to Set Your Day Rate as a Safety Consultant: Tips for Long-Term Success

Описание: In this episode of My Safety Consultant, Peter Thomas dives deep into one of the most challenging questions consultants face: How much should I charge for my services? Setting a fair, sustainable day rate is crucial for building a profitable business, yet so many safety consultants get this wrong. Charge too little, and you’ll struggle to stay afloat. Charge too much, and you might lose potential clients.

Topics Covered:

The risks of undercutting and discounting your services
Why setting your rate too low attracts difficult clients
Key considerations when calculating your day rate (sick days, holidays, insurance, marketing costs, and more)
How to handle rate negotiations without devaluing your expertise
Adding value to justify a higher rate

Peter also shares an exciting update on his recent appointment as Deputy Chair of the IIRSM Ambassador Program and discusses insights from his work with Karen Hewitt. Plus, there’s a special mention of Gareth Grimes’ book on the Building Safety Act, a resource that makes navigating complex regulations more accessible for professionals.
