Take a baseline fee before betting on performance

Performance pricing works as a baseline fee plus upside tied to the result, not as a wager on the whole engagement. Before agreeing to be paid on a number, get your own access to the analytics so the figure is not something the client reports to you, and warn them in writing that much of what decides the outcome sits outside your work.

The method

1. 01

   Warn the client that plenty of what decides the result sits outside the copy, before you agree to be paid on that result.

2. 02

   Insist on your own access to the analytics before agreeing to be paid on performance, so the figure the bonus depends on is not something the client reports to you.

3. 03

   Structure performance pricing as a baseline fee plus an upside tied to the result, rather than betting the whole fee on the outcome.
