Okay, so Colleen has a broad set of management skills, including project management, leadership, and team building. Her MBA from Boise State University is a solid educational foundation. Location is Meridian, Idaho, which is a smaller market. Management professionals with similar skills in smaller markets tend to charge lower rates. Let’s look at averages. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, management professionals in the Boise, ID area average around $60,000 per year. Considering her skills and education, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $75, which is a bit higher than the average, but still reasonable for a management professional in this location.
