We generally start signing up clients in January of the year that they apply. For the first few months of the year we work on candidacy, making sure that the profile is a strong as possible. Once applications are published, we start the tactical work on the applications. If you wanted to skip over the candidacy portion, you would ideally start in early summer. That said, many people sign up later on in the season, but since we have a fixed price I always think it makes the most sense to sign up early and get the most out of the service.

There is a huge range in fees. Also, some firms charge by the hour, while other charge for a service. You really have to look at what they are offering vs. your needs when you look at prices.

Go ahead and subscribe now. I am sure it will start to get you thinking about the process.
