SAMPLE PANEL
charging what you’re worth
Use Storytelling to Communicate Your Unique Value. Highlight how your services positively impact your clients. Are you saving them time? Making them money? Improving their health or quality of life? Demonstrating how you solve problems and deliver clear benefits for your clients is key to justifying the prices that they will pay.
Test Out Your Pricing. Conduct your own market research to determine if your pricing is too low or too high. Gather feedback during the testing phase to balance what you think you’re worth and what your clients are willing to pay. Remember, pricing is an experiment and is not set in stone. It can be adjusted as necessary, so embrace this flexibility to find the optimal price point.
Overcome Imposter Syndrome. Many people undervalue their work due to impostor syndrome, making it hard to set prices. Acknowledge that others may have different strengths but focus on your clients instead. Highlight the unique benefits and value you provide and let this guide your pricing to ensure it's a win-win for both parties.
