You grossly underestimate how conservative and risk averse most clients are.<p>As a consultant I have tried a variation on your approach. I&#x27;ve offered to work for a client for 2-3 weeks. At the end of which THEY get to decide how much I&#x27;m worth. I reserve the right not to carry on working for them but for those 2-3 weeks I will accept whatever they pay including nothing.<p>In over a decade not one client has accepted this deal.
