Episode #9: Pricing Yourself

It's hard to determine what to charge for your services, and you don't want to price yourself out of the market or seem unprofessional.

You're not sure what to charge, so you usually just guess. This can lead to you losing money on a job, or worse yet, not making any money at all on a service that took hours to complete.

In this episode, you'll learn that there are tools available to help you calculate your prices with confidence.

In this episode, I interview Kimberly from Next Level Hair Stylist and we are talking about how to raise your prices in a "scientific" way. We discuss the importance of value-based pricing and how to determine what your services are worth. We also talk about how to communicate your new prices to your clients, and how to handle resistance. If you are thinking about raising your prices, or if you want to learn more about pricing strategies, this episode is for you.
