What This Revenue Model Is
Coalition building requires the rarest combination of skills in consulting: strategic clarity, diplomatic fluency, organizational patience, and the ability to align competing interests around a common goal. The practitioner who can do this is not a facilitator. They are one of the most valuable strategic assets in any movement.
A retainer for the convening, plus project fees per phase.

$2,500-7,500

phased
by milestone
Coalition work is part facilitation, part advisory, and it is priced like both: a retainer to convene and steer, with project fees attached to deliverables.
Strategic facilitation day rates commonly run $2,500 to $7,500, and senior advisory retainers $5,000 to $15,000 a month.
Benchmarked to facilitation and consulting rate data (Futurists/strategic-planning surveys, Consulting Success, 2024-2026).
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
