Ok, thoughts on how to level out the Consulting Rollercoaster.
Ideally, without damaging the peaks too much :)

What happens with me, and I suspect everyone else as well, is that I get work in spurts, with "dry spells"...

I'm thinking of implementing something similar to what PCB shops do, where delivery by X date is $, and 2 weeks sooner is 2$, and so on.

The objective being to keep the pipe filled, offering the option of lower rate in exchange for the ability to schedule the job into "whenever" hours.  (within reason)

So, any thoughts on this, or other approaches?
