About

A small team that has quoted a lot of client work

Maple Street started as a Friday lunch where a few independent consultants traded notes on what they charged. The questions were always the same: what's my rate, how do I price a project, and how do I say the number out loud.

Now we teach it. Every session is built around your real work, and you leave with a price you can stand behind.

What we believe

Three ideas behind every session

Price the parts

A client can't agree to a number they can't see inside. Break the work into parts, and the price explains itself.

Say it plainly

The quote isn't done until you can say it out loud without apologizing. We practice that part on purpose.

Specific beats clever

Real briefs, real numbers, real proposals. Examples from your own work stick. Theory doesn't.

Come to a workshop.

One topic a month, live and small. Bring a brief.
