Time Management & Budgets

It is important for a PEP to have good computer skills, (Word and Excel) this will facilitate assistance when organizing time-lines for yourself and client plus developing budgets.  The only way you can ascertain your fee is to make a time-line and calculate how many hours this event will require.

When you are quoting your service fees not only do you want to ensure that you are going to make some form of profit but you want to itemize for the client where their monies are being spent too.

Your client wants efficiency and to feel confident that a PEP knows their trade.  After you have gathered an outline of the event from your potential new client on that initial first call, start formulating how much time it will take, what are the requirements, what are the roles of responsibilities for both you and the client, creating a clear and precise paperwork trail that can be presented at that valuable first face-to-face appointment. 
  
Then when you meet the client, all this pre-work will demonstrate that they have chosen the right professional to help them with their event.  It is important when giving your outline to the client to illustrate in as much detail as possible (but simplistically) the services you will be providing and the stress you can take off their shoulders.
