I propose to charge based on a percentage of the 1st year’s savings to the client (ie 30%) of total savings. I am certified in Project Management and Training of 6 Sigma. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

If we make it easier for businesses to survive, it will ultimately result in higher wages.

The more businesses prosper, there will be increased demand for employees. Increased demand for employees will result in higher wages/benefits.

Instead of making it easier for business to survive/prosper, our President is going to make it harder. He’ll force employers arbitrarily increase wages, increase health care coverage, increase benefits, all in an environment where businesses are struggling to even stay around. It will just make the problem worse with even more layoffs.
