By John Sanpietro One of my clients recently asked how much I thought she should charge for a full-day event she was planning.  When she gave me all of the details, I told her the event should run anywhere between $100-$150 per person.  I could almost hear her rearing her head back in shock when I told her that.  And she responded with the same response I've heard countless times… Read More »
