Your tips for freelance contract negotiation

Wondering if anyone is willing to share their wisdom and expertise with me.

I need some help in negotiating a daily rate for a (potentially ongoing) consultancy relationship.

  • What are your tips and tricks for ensuring that you don't pitch too high or low at the initial stages?

  • What sources do you use to find out 'the going rate' for your industry/specialism?

  • Once you've established a rate, is it standard to renegotiate for additional/subsequent projects?

  • And is it unreasonable to expect the Holy Grail of a good work/life balance (eg with flexible working)?

All insights appreciated! Thank you.
