Who is A Consultant?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consultant
- A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter.
- A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients.
- Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired.

Consulting Fees to Expect
ISO consultants base their fees on the scope of work, number of employees and operational complexity.
Daily rates commonly range from US$600 to US$1,500. A firm with 15 to 45 employees can expect to pay US$25,000 to US$50,000 for an ISO consulting project.
Note:- I do recommend that Malaysia ISO Consultants emigrate to USA to earn this big income.
- The ISO project value in Malaysia is only RM5,000 per company.
- Average only RM10,000 and many hank-panky under-hand deals.
