Was skeptical of that $5k retainer model, now I think it's the only way
Last year I told a friend his agency would die charging retainers instead of per-project, thought clients would hate it... then I watched him pull in steady cash during a slow quarter while I was chasing invoices. My own project in Austin just died after 6 months of scope creep, and I'm wondering if the retainer's fault is actually better for both sides. Anyone else flip on this after seeing it play out?
