How to pitch a retainer to a client?

Here's my advice: Pitch only to existing clients or clients you know well. Never pitch a retainer agreement to someone you've never worked with before. Present the retainer as a way to get front of the line status. Highlight the benefit of predictable budgeting. Include a small discount (maybe)

What is a retainer agreement? A retainer agreement is a long-term work-for-hire contract between a company and a client that retains ongoing services from you (as a consulting business) and provides you with a stable amount of payments.

This is a legal contract between the law firm and the client setting forth the terms of the legal services to be provided and how the client will be charged for the services.

An engagement letter is generally specific to professional services, such as accounting, consulting, or legal services. A contract, on the other hand, is a broader term that can apply to any agreement involving two parties, irrespective of the nature of their engagement.

Retainer agreements (also referred to as representation agreements) are a type of compensation agreement with lawyers either for reserving their employment or as compensation for future services. Also inside the agreement are details on the scope and procedure for the representation.

As a best practice, licensees should consider using a retainer agreement or engagement letter for every matter. Confirming the essential terms of the engagement with the client in writing manages client expectations and reduces the risk of misunderstanding between the licensee and their client.
