Via this article, I learned about the following 6 reasons to stop charging by the hour:

Reason # 1

Reason # 2

It makes customers hesitate before calling you for advice.

Reason # 3

It creates a negative cash flow cycle because you have to know how many hours were worked before sending a bill.

Reason # 4

It forces employees to fill out time sheets.

Reason # 5

It leaves your customers feeling “nickel and dimed”.

Reason # 6

It provides a disincentive for your employees to work quickly and efficiently, ultimately peopling your company with a bloated and slow-moving set of clock watchers.
