In this episode of the FiredUp! podcast, McLintic shares the pros and cons of the 3 main agency billing models: time-based, deliverables-based, and value-based, so that you can know where the agency is coming from and foster a successful partnership.
Morgan discusses:
- The most traditional and fading in popularity is time-based pricing which involves buying the time of the agency’s team members and billing clients based on hourly rates.
- Requiring a bit of upfront work to set expectations, deliverables-based pricing is a great model that focuses on buying a specific output or scope of work.
- In a more complex model, value-based pricing aligns the agency’s pricing with the value of the outcome they create for the client.
- Some agencies may also generate revenue from other sources such as IP and markups on third-party costs.
