- How are your fees
structured? How much do you charge?
- Do you provide
services directly to our Spanish-speaking employees ?
- Will you provide
services outside the United States ?
- Can you provide client
references ?
- What industries do you
work with the most ?
- When are you available ?
The best way to determine what
our services will cost you is to give us a call and discuss your
needs with us. Only after
we
have a clear understanding of what you require will we be able to
offer you a
price range for the service options available to you.
In a general sense, let us assure you that our fees are in a modest to
moderate range as
compared to U.S. consultants on the East and West
Coasts. We are more concerned
about our ability to be selective about
the type of work we do and the clients we choose
to serve than we are about
keeping up with the rate trends of other consulting firms.
The cost of our services varies according to the
needs of our clients. The larger the contract
with us the more economical
to your company, on an hour-for-hour basis, and the more
value received.
Understandably, larger projects allow for more negotiating room. Small
assignments and brief engagements are usually charged on an hourly or per diem
rate
rather than on a project basis. Costs are also determined by factors
such as travel,
coordination of our services with the services of other
consultants or trainers a client
may be using, research requirements for the
project, time factors such as "rush" deadlines,
number of employee
participants, customization of training, whether or not a training module
is
repeated, planning time spent with leaders or decision-makers, written
translations
needed, on so on. All of these factors and more are
considered when we are negotiating
a new project agreement with a company.
Back to Top
Yes. We are often called upon to facilitate
or assist with meetings, conduct group interviews,
provide individual or small
group coaching, or present stand-up training with monolingual,
Spanish-speaking
employees and clients. We have worked with all socioeconomic and
educational levels of Hispanic employees, from illiterate laborers to chief
executives, here
and in Latin America. And we are familiar with the national linguistic accents
from all parts
of Latin America. While we don't know the jargon for
each occupation or the slang for each
region in Latin America, we are able to use
Spanish proficiently in order to accomplish what
your company needs to get the
job done.
Yes. We frequently travel outside of our immediate region
in North Bay and Sacramento Valley, California. We are willing to travel throughout California and the
West Coast. Travel outside
the United States is welcomed. Managers
doing business in Latin America may need our
assistance with start-up
recruitment, training new staff, meeting with clients or partners,
and
adapting to the Latin American culture.
Upon request, we will provide you with a sample
list of companies that have used our services.
If you wish,
we
will also provide you with the names and phone numbers of three client
contacts,
hopefully in your industry, who are willing to speak with you. In addition, please
take a look at
what some of our clients have to say.
Since we distinguish ourselves from most other
consultants by our bilingual and cross-cultural
skills, we most frequently work in
industries that sell products in Latin America or who employ
a large percentage of Hispanic employees. Thus, the
many of our client companies are in
agriculture, manufacturing,
restaurants, and
some service industries such as janitorial and landscaping. We have worked
with a variety of nonprofit entities doing board development
and general
organizational development. Other
industries we have worked with are
health care, transportation, and retail sales.
We have ample experience with city and
county governments. We have also
worked with state government employee training programs.
Like any consulting firm, we have
busy periods and slower periods. If good fortune causes
you to call us during a slower period,
we readily
available and you will be pleased to be offered
several convenient scheduling
options.
If we happen to be in a busy period, which is
hard for us to predict, you will need to schedule
time with us several weeks or
sometimes months in
advance, especially if you are needing
many hours of our time.
In terms of brief consultations, especially
telephone consultations, we can work you into
our schedule nearly anytime.
