Okay, let’s calculate Leslie’s rate. She has a strong background in B2B marketing, content strategy, and lead generation, which are in demand. Her skills in French add an extra layer of versatility. However, her rate is not extremely high due to her location in Boston, which is a relatively expensive market. According to national averages, marketing professionals with similar skills can charge between $100–$200 per hour. Considering Leslie’s experience and skills, I would estimate her rate to be around $125 per hour, which is slightly above the average but still reasonable for her location.
