Steve, just out of curiousity. What can the average salon owner wannabe expect to pay in consultation fees? You know, so they can add that to the budget.

I worked as a business consultant for approximately 5 years in the early 90's. I was trying to sell my services to a business owner when he asked me "If you know so **** much, why ain't you doing it yourself?". I couldn't answer him.

I discovered that, when it is your own money, you look at things differently than you do as a consultant. If you are going to get someone to pay you for your ideas, you need to prove you know what you are talking about.

First of all, there is no such thing as a sure thing. When you say that you have something that has proven to be successful 100% of the time, the first thing that I think is that you are full of crap. (Not saying you are, just the impression I get from your post.) The last statement in your post sounds a lot like you are going to sell me a bed with electronic ballasts rather than magnetic. You would do better to sell the steak, because I just don't hear the sizzle.

I charge 10% for waht I know, and 15% for something I know nothing about.

That's a bit low, but reasonable.

EFT's are ALL about volume. Sooooo, if you can get top dollar out of the clients now, why start an EFT and hope you double or triple the volume just to make the same?

billable: Not rude.
