“How much should I charge?” Can you relate to any of the following?
- You haven’t raised your prices for years. You know it’s time, but you’re worried about alienating your existing customers.
- You’re working really hard, yet it seems that money flies out the door as fast as it comes in.
- No matter what you do, it seems that there is never enough for you to get ahead to the next level in your business. It feels like an uphill struggle.
These are all signs that it’s time for you to charge more.

However, from personal experience, I understand that knowing what you should do and putting it into action are two very different things.
If you know that you need to raise your prices but you’re worried about how people will react, then you’ll LOVE this video training.
I’ve included a powerful exercise to help you tap into the true value that you provide and give you the inner self-belief to raise your prices with confidence.
On this video training you’ll discover:
- Why you bring so much more to the table than what you know, or what you do – it’s who you ARE that makes the difference.
- What buyers REALLY think about price when making buying decisions (this one will surprise you!)
Once you watch this video, I’d love to hear your thoughts about How Much Should I charge, and your own experiences with setting and raising your fees.
Come and share your experience in the comments below – leave a reply
I’d love to hear your views on this one.
P.S There are so many good people doing transformational work in the world, yet struggling because they haven’t figured out the ‘money’ piece yet. If you know someone who really needs to hear this message today, please share this video – thanks 🙂

I agree with you 100%, Bernadette.
Five years ago when I first heard about value-based pricing, I increased my prices by a factor of two-and-a-half times the very first time I tried. And I doubled them again the very next time!
By getting the client to understand value for themselves, they could explain it to me. I was then able to (had the confidence to) name a price which was a ‘bite your hand off’ return-on-investment for them, but miles higher than I would have charged otherwise. I was now getting paid what the client thought I was worth!
Since I stopped having an hourly rate, the highest “effective hourly rate” I’ve worked for is £6,000 per hour, yes six thousand UK pounds per hour! But I know I wouldn’t have got the work if I’d quoted it that way.

Really spooky this is what we discussed at our breakfast meeting this morning and also came to similar conclusions. this is certainly a topic of concern to a lot of SME
Absolutely Sally – this is an age old issue for SME’s which is why I wanted to cover it 🙂
Great video and great topic! I’ve personally been going through a fee structure change this summer and yes, definitely raising my prices. It really is psychological and a great exercise in breaking through fear.
Well done for breaking through your fear Patty!
I havn’t really had to raise my prices yet!! I found my problem was setting my prices in the first place!! After watching this video I have alittle more confidence.Thanks
That’s great to hear Lynn. Look out for another video coming up on how to set your prices – it’s amazing how many people get this wrong when starting out.
This step is, I think, one of the hardest to make. I have increased some of my fees a lot (1,000 to 5,000) and it was uncomfortable but it was the right thing to do and I actually have more clients now. I still find it hard to present this price but it gets easier with each client and I know that I can offer extra benefits to them giving them a great experience. It has put me more in control of my business and I don’t compare myself with other providers (which I always used to do) because I know that what I am offering is unique to me and my clients know that and want that.
Some great advice here Bernadette and I agree you have to do it and then follow through on delivering a great service or product.
Brilliant example Berni – thanks for sharing!
I have just recently started my own business with massage therapy. Last night I watched 7 secrets to attracting all the clients you want. And now this one. I feel these have been very good for me already. Just listening to someone tell me that I can do this and have faith that I will do great things helps me to feel more confident. Everything is simply put and and gives me a great plan of action. Thank you.
I am so happy to hear that both the webinar and the video helped you Kellie. Please stay tuned for lots more 🙂 – and feel free to submit your own question and we may feature it on an upcoming episode 🙂
I haven’t signed anyone up yet so I still wonder will other people find the same value that I get from the system that I have created. I am sure once I get someone who is interested then that will give me confidence that what I am offering is of value to others. So YES Bernadette it is DEFINITELY a psychological issue, thank you
That first sale is crucial Christine – not just from a psychological point of view – but important feedback that someone is willing to pay for what you’re offering. At this stage you need to go all out on getting that first sale. (we have a sale on our Sales Conversation Secrets this week – check it out http://clientmagnets.org/scs-4day-sale
You asked us what has happened if we raised our fees. First of all is the mindset shift. After listening to you in other videos, I have raised prices, in one case raising them 3x and in another 5x as a retainer over 5 months (vs. one-off pricing, so effectively, significantly more). The shift has done wonders for removing stress from thinking about pricing and what others are thinking to thinking about what is the value I’m delivering. Yesterday, I spoke with one of these new clients as we were planning an upcoming event. I mentioned that I wanted to respect her time, knowing we had hit our allotted hour. Her reply was, “Time is not a problem. The time with you is so important that I’ve cancelled other things.” I think in significant part her response reflects the internal sense of purpose, ease, and clarity of commitment that I have to her and the project as a result of getting paid what I believe is appropriate for the value I’m delivering. As I add value, I will continue to challenge myself about raising my prices even further.
I put my prices up last week on my website, and had 4 new bookings the same day. None of them commented on the price, and it’s the most new clients I’ve had in one day for a long time! I’m telling my regular clients about the price increase as they come in, and offering packages to save on the price increase if they book before the end of September. So far, very good results, and no one has walked away AND I’m much happier and feel more valued than before. Thank you Bernadette!
