#215: You’re Losing Billable Hours (How To Recapture Them)
How many billable hours are you losing each week, month, and (gasp) year because you aren't tracking your time contemporaneously? Do you often write your time down (not reporting all the time spent working)? You're losing billable hours (you really shouldn't be losing at all). And you recapture those hours by: (1) shifting your mentality around billing (and what's even billable, plus why), (2) tracking your time contemporaneously, and (3) discovering the art of writing a good narrative (showing the value provided to the client).
The how-to of all of the above (and more) is covered in today's episode with Molly Kremer (aka "The Billing Coach"). Join us for an insightful conversation that will help you stop losing so many billable hours and instead recapture them.
