Got a current client that’s priced way too low?
Let’s talk about how you might be avoiding everyone’s least favorite conversation:
The Price Raise Convo.
Uh oh - feeling the nervousness already?
You know what we’re talking about… does the client come to mind? The one you signed a couple years ago that you now dread because you’d charge way more now than you did back then.
Or when the past client reaches out again for more work, and you’re struggling on what price to send them.
What if we told you that by avoiding one single conversation, you could be sabotaging the success of your creative business?
That one conversation has the power to double (maybe even triple) your income.
And that procrastinating it has already cost you big-time… 📉.
