💡 Pricing Strategy Tips

• Raise prices gradually: Small increases (+10-20%) are less likely to scare clients
• Test with new clients: Try higher rates with new prospects before raising for existing clients
• Value over time: If clients focus on your hourly rate, they undervalue your expertise
• The 80% rule: If 80%+ of prospects say yes, your prices are too low
• Quality filter: Higher prices often attract better clients who value quality

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the break-even rate calculated?▼

Break-even = Total monthly costs / Billable hours per month. This is the minimum you need to charge to cover expenses.

Why use the 80% rule?▼

If 80%+ of prospects accept your price, you're probably undercharging. The optimal rate should have some prospects say no.

Should I raise prices for existing clients?▼

It's better to test higher rates with new clients first. For existing clients, communicate value improvements when raising rates.
