Okay, let’s break it down. Frederic has a broad skill set, including sales, public speaking, coaching, and leadership development. His language skills are also valuable, especially in a location like Santa Barbara, California. However, his skills don’t seem to be in high-demand areas like tech or software development. Considering his skills and location, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly lower than average for sales and leadership professionals in the US, but his language skills and location contribute to a slightly lower rate. Some sales professionals in the US can charge $200-$300 per hour, but Frederic’s skill set is more general, so I’ve rounded down to $125.
