Charge a retainer or you'll drown in 20-minute files
Per-minute transcription pricing looks honest. It is also how you spend Tuesday on a 14-minute interview that paid $18.
Clients who buy minutes send leftovers. Clients who buy a desk send the show.
A monthly retainer filters for people with a pipeline. One number, one chat, one turnaround rule. You stop quoting. They stop shopping.
If you only remember one thing from this shop: sell the slot, not the minute.
