Jade Communications Engagement Models
Depending on the kind of Speech Preparation Assignment, Jade Communications offers three engagement models.
Fixed Bid Model
When a speech making project is well -defined and the scope of the speech understood clearly, plus there is a definite date for presenting the finished speech, then this is the model to undertake. Generally researching, designing and packaging speeches are executed under this model. Typically the client and Jade Communications Ltd agree on certain hours for the project. 50% of project cost has to be paid in advance before commencement of the project. A Jade Communications Consultant will work to complete the speech within the estimated hours. However, in some cases, after project commencement, we may face some unforeseen problems such as limited information or actual work going beyond the originally agreed scope etc. When we expect to exceed the time estimate, we will inform you in advance. Our basic estimate for the Executive Speech Preparation assistant and Client starts at 10hrs per week, and their engagement will mainly be through email, telephone and face to face meetings.
The cost levied for this model starts at 10hrs per week charged at KShs. 20,000 + VAT/Withholding Tax (where applicable) will be levied at the prevailing rate.
Retainer/Resource Model
If you have to make speeches on a regular basis, then you can buy resource time by paying 1 month advance. You can choose 10 hours/week, 20 hours/week or 40 hours/week on a monthly basis. Jade Communications will keep an Executive Speech Preparation Assistant available for you during those hours per week. If the hours are not used within that week, they lapse. The assistant will work according to the client’s guidelines and Jade Communications will make every effort to maintain quality. We will employ a buddy system, so that two assistants are capable of handling your tasks, in case one assistant is not available due to holiday or sickness. However if you have time-sensitive tasks and need an assistant who will work very efficiently without a holiday, it may be advisable to hire two assistants.
