Uhmm... perhaps you should stick to speaking what you actually know? As
the lead consultant of the company that was doing this long before
Pervasive attempt and the company that is still doing it, profitably

There is a thing called market rates. Market rate for database training
is anywhere from 1.5k-5k based on what you are getting and that is only

Market rate for a trainer coming to you is 2k-2.5k a day + all expenses.
