Say they can get done 40/hr (assuming addressing and not stuffing envelop) and pay is $6/hr. So that's $15/100. Or $0.15 per piece. I prefer my letter vs yellowletter company but if it was just a cost decision- I'd pay yellow letter to do it. I'm at $0.83 per piece so not saving a ton vs YL. But it's a preference thing for me. The person doing my letters wants training so I pay her a flat fee of $500 for each closed deal from her letters.

I was paying a letter writer $10/hr. They had to compete 10 mailers an hour which consisted of 10 handwritten letters and envelopes, stuffed, stamped and ready to be mailed. If they only had to write the envelope (typed letters) they had to produce 20 mailer/hour.
