Hence why I prefer to go with a recurring monthly license business model, as the cleint gets to use the software for a very reasonable amount of investment, and I choose to help my clients in any other facet of their computer needs, even if it is outside the realm of my responsibility. It drives a very deep stake into the relationship I have with my clients where I have made myself virtually indispensable to them and their businesses because they have a trusted resource to turn to for advice and direction without getting nickel and dimed to death. Some months I spend no time with a client, and often for months at a time. Other months I may invest 20+ hours into the relationship, and often on stuff that has nothing at all to do with my software. Yet at the end of the year my per hour income is pretty impressive. Just my 4 cents.
