    Getting Paid for the Outcome: Fixed Fee Plus Success Fee with Charlton Evans | Episode 271

    Boutique Professional Services | Pro Serv Podcast Pricing is the most-asked-about topic in the membership right now, and most of the conversation stays theoretical. Charlton Evans, CEO of End State Solutions, actually changed his model — and made it work. He moved from a traditional pricing structure to a fixed fee plus success fee, and he did it with real clients, real contracts, and real results. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Charlton to walk through the move. What pushed him off his old pricing in the first place. How he sets the fixed portion and defines what "success" means in a contract so both sides can live with it. How he puts the structure in front of clients and handles the objections that come back. And what the change did to his margins. In this episode: • What pushed Charlton off his old pricing model, and the moment it stopped being defensible • The mechanics of fixed fee plus success fee: how he sets the fixed portion and how success gets defined • How he presents the structure to clients, and the objections that come back most often • What the change did to margins • Why most founders debating a pricing change never make one — and what that means for the ones who do • Why tying part of your fee to an outcome forces a level of specificity most engagements never reach If you run a boutique professional services firm and want to make more money, make scaling easier, and make an exit achievable, join Collective 54 at collective54.com.

    Faster Isn’t a Strategy: Building Something the Client Can Hold with Leo Falkenstein | Episode 270

    Boutique Professional Services | Pro Serv Podcast Speed has never been cheaper. AI can draft the memo, the deck, the model — in minutes. But fast and useful are not the same thing, and a lot of boutique founders are learning that the hard way. Clients aren't asking for faster anymore. They're asking for something they can hold — a framework they can use, a system they can run, a strategy they can act on. Leo Falkenstein, a Collective 54 member and returning guest, has built his firm around that distinction. He returns to the show to talk about what it actually takes to deliver work that outlasts the engagement. In this episode: • Why speed is now the baseline — and why winning on speed alone is a race to the bottom • What "building something the client can hold" actually means in delivery terms • How AI changes the work without changing the standard clients are holding you to • The difference between work that gets approved and work that gets used • Why slower, more deliberate delivery often produces faster client results • What boutique founders should protect when pressure to move faster mounts If you run a boutique professional services firm and want to make more money, make scaling easier, and make an exit achievable, join Collective 54 at collective54.com.

    From Margin Crisis to Profitability: The Rebuild with Ravit Gutman | Episode 268

    Finance Transformation Firm | Boutique Professional Services Podcast Most founders discover margin erosion long after it starts, because it never arrives as a single bad decision. It shows up as a discount to win the logo, a hire made ahead of demand, scope that quietly expands. Ravit Gutman of Extropy Advisors watched margin compress across her firm and then did the harder thing: she found where it was leaking and rebuilt profitability from the cost and delivery side. In this session, she walks through what she found, what she changed, and what it took to hold the line while the correction was underway. In this episode: • Where margin actually leaks in a professional services firm, and how to find it • The operating changes Ravit made to restore profitability • How she carried clients and the team through the correction without losing either • Margin compression is hitting a lot of boutiques right now, and most founders diagnose it too late • Growing revenue while margin falls builds a bigger firm that is worth less • Recovery is an operating problem, not a pricing problem, which means it is solvable If you run a boutique professional services firm and want to make more money, make scaling easier, and make an exit achievable, join Collective 54 at collective54.com.
