Feeling like you can’t raise your prices keeps you trapped. Even if you charge more than other people in your area for a similar service, you can raise your prices if you know how to offer your services in the right way.

Here are 4 tips that can help you charge what you’re worth, and actually get it!

1) Price for transformation, not time.

As soon as you try to sell a session, you’re selling a unit of time, NOT a transformation.

Now, you may know what can and will occur in that time, but your prospective client may not. To them, you’re just giving an hour of your time, something that most people think isn’t worth more than $50 – $100/hour.

Instead, offer transformation.

Look at it this way:

Which one of these is more valuable, A or B?

• A. “3 sessions of hypnotherapy.”
• B. “A rapid-results quit smoking program that gets you off nicotine fast.”

I’ll take door number 2, please! And so will your prospective clients.

2) Bundle two or more things that complement each other together, making one offer.

If you try to piecemeal your offerings, it’s like an a la carte menu. Everything looks expensive, and people have to make too many decisions. For example, “Do I really want that extra thing, or can I do without it?”

Bundling several offers together often has your work appear higher in value. This doesn’t mean bundling multiple sessions (see Tip #1 above for clarity). Instead, it means bundling multiple transformations, as long as they are related. Meaning you can charge more and provide your clients with a greater transformation – a win-win for you both!

3) Learn to talk about the value.

As transformational entrepreneurs, we usually talk about the process (like coaching, healing). Or we talk about the features of what we’re offering, like, “You’ll get three 45-minute calls.”

It’s just not very engaging or juicy. Is it? 

Instead, talk about the value and the possibilities. What might a prospective client achieve? What’s the outcome that they might look for?

With those talking points, they’ll be less concerned with whether calls are 45-minutes or an hour, and more about the excitement of working with you. AND they’ll be more willing to pay top-dollar.

4) Charge a premium for faster (not longer).

It’s common to think that a 3-month program should be $X price, and a 6-month program should be $2X price.

But if you can deliver transformation faster (which is certainly possible with cutting edge techniques), that’s not LESS valuable. It’s MORE valuable, and you should charge more for it.
