 |
|
A producer client has given me two scripts, each less than four pages, for two separate projects - but for the same end-user client - that are to be recorded in a single phone-patch session.
How would you invoice: as two separate jobs, or as a single session?
I'm guessing others have been faced with this conundrum and weren't sure how to handle it.
Just curious.

I would charge for one single session/project rate.
I have this same situation.
2 scripts from my client for the same client of theirs.
I quoted them a project rate for both scripts.
Delivered the 1st script yesterday, waiting on the 2nd script.

For non-broadcast, if it's for one client and it's happening in one session, I would bill as if it were all one project.

One more vote for billing as a single project if there aren't broadcast variables involved.
I have a couple clients who have me do projects in batches, even though they need to have them delivered as distinct items. My rule tends to be that if I can read them all in the same session, even if the client doesn't need them turned around all at the same time, I just estimate my time/effort off the total word count across all of them and then get my quote approved before recording.
In addition to keeping things oriented toward simplicity and efficiency for mutual benefit, the upside on the client end is they end up saving a bit of money, and the upside on mine is I don't have to scatter the work across multiple spots on my calendar and it helps ensure that when the scripts are sent to me as a batch they're all definitely final etc.
