    Try to be decent .. if the conversation directly relates to the client getting value from you - i.e. you are directly offering consultancy services via the phone - then charge them.

    An example of this might be a 50 minute discussion about ways the client could go about re-branding their business. You explain to them the different routes they can take and your own recommendations - they learn what the best options available are. They pay for your advice.

    But at the end of the day - try to factor in the way you'd like to be treated yourself if you were the client.

    Make sure they know when they are paying for your time - because chances are they'll choose to skip the small talk if they are.

    • basically, i think the client needs to initiate the conversation and they need to end up better off as a resultlukus_W
