Make the offer specific
enough to choose.
A client should be able to tell what one conversation can cover. Start with a decision you have the experience to help them make.
Talk through a process bottleneck
Bring one workflow and the point where it stalls. Identify what to investigate or change first.
Clarify a proposal's scope
Bring one uncertain requirement. Work out what needs defining before a larger engagement starts.
Work that needs extensive research or document review is better scoped as a separate engagement.
From offer to session
One clear route
to your advice.
Ownlybiz brings your service page, native sessions and payment setup into the same platform. You choose what the consultation covers and how you deliver it.
Read the complete consulting walkthroughDefine the question
Explain the topic, preparation and expected stopping point on your expert website. Make it clear what belongs in a separate project.
Set the channel and rate
In Services & Rates, set the per-minute rates for the channels you offer. Complete your account approval and payment requirements before selling paid sessions.
Make time available
Set your booking timezone and availability. Keep outside commitments in mind; external calendar synchronization is not currently supported.
Meet, finish and follow up
Use native chat, voice or video. Agree how to handle extra time, end the session when finished, and leave the client with a clear next step.

Explain the price before the clock starts
Time, credit
and appointments.
Each has a different job. Keep them separate in your offer so clients know what they are buying.
Work through your numbersPer-minute sessions
The charge uses elapsed session time, including reading and thinking. A suggested duration sets an expectation; it does not create a custom spending cap.
Prepaid credit
A money balance can fund eligible sessions with you. It does not itself create a recurring retainer or an automatic monthly top-up.
Session packages
A package sells a defined number of appointments. If you also offer paid follow-ups, explain what support the package already includes before charging for additional work.
Before you set up your offer
Is this a good fit for every consulting service?
It fits advice you can deliver in a focused conversation with enough context. An audit, implementation project or research-heavy recommendation usually needs its own scope and price.
Can I use video without moving the client to another meeting app?
Ownlybiz includes native video, as well as voice and text chat. Choose the channels you can serve well and configure their per-minute rates.
Can a returning client use a prepaid balance?
Yes, for supported per-minute sessions with the same expert. Prepaid credit is separate from package appointments. Review the consulting walkthrough for a worked example.
How do I decide on a rate?
Start with the scope, the preparation needed and your business costs. The pricing calculator shows how a rate translates into a client charge; it does not recommend a market rate or forecast demand.
