Price your services for the region you’re in.  For example, your business may be located in Lancaster and your client in Philadelphia.  Charge your client the standard rate typical for Philadelphia.  Set written expectations and manage priorities.  Establish how often team members will report progress to one another and the team leader.  Every team member (including the client) should know his/her defined role.
