Episode notes
From Hourly To Value Based Fees After A $4k Lesson
- Early in his career Warwick charged hourly and once made $4k while delivering a deal that added over $1M a year to a client's comp.
- That experience pushed him to adopt value-based pricing with success fees tied to deal lift.
Executives Trade Time For Decreasing Money Value
- For senior executives money often devalues while time increases in value, making employment a trade of time for money.
- Warwick argues this shift gives executives confidence to push harder because companies can usually afford to pay more.
Manage Public Narrative To Preserve Options
- Control what you share publicly because oversharing tactical numbers on LinkedIn can pigeonhole you and kill interest from larger firms.
- Warwick advises tailoring network narratives verbally to counter public signals when seeking a different role.
