It is most imperative to charge a fee for your time and knowledge and charge an appropriate service charge as your time and knowledge is valuable.

BUDGET ALL-INCLUSIVE
       The Budget All-Inclusive couple is aware of the all-inclusive concept and will shop around to find the best deal. Generally the range is $2-3K range.
        *Ask if they already have prices from online providers (this will save a tremendous amount of time.
