How to Set and Raise Your Fees with Confidence- Seminar for Women

And have more peace around money

With Mikelann Valterra, Author and Money Coach

Friday, December 2nd, 2011 9am to 5pm

10 women, 1 day

On December 2nd, I’m taking 10 self-employed women on a journey to explore setting and raising fees in ways that feel good to us and allow us to make more money.

Often, women are conflicted about charging people for helping them, or they simply don’t have the confidence or skills to set their fees where they should be—and raise their fees when it’s appropriate.

If 2012 is the year to make more money, raising your fees could be a vital ingredient.

So– are you a woman in a service-based business, who would like to make more money? Than this seminar is for you! From therapists and graphic designers to consultants and lawyers, setting the correct fee and raising your fee regularly, are keys to maintaining a healthy business. But just how do you do this? This seminar will teach you.

The day will include deep discussions about how to charge what we are really worth, why this is often difficult and how we feel about what we charge. Be prepared to do some journaling and guided visualization work, as well as learn powerful information.

Learn how to set the right fee in the first place, when and how to raise your fee, and how to communicate this increase easily to clients. Most importantly, shift how you feel about charging people. This seminar will help you make more money and have more peace of mind doing it.

During this seminar you will discover:

How to learn what other people are charging
How to find your “break even point” and simple profitability formulas
How many hours you need to bill each month to live the life you want
How to keep from discounting your prices
How to talk about price with clients in a comfortable way
How to raise your fees and communicate this to your clients cleanly

Also covered:

Confronting the “Good Girl Syndrome”
Staring down perfectionism (and its impact on charging people appropriately)
Seven reasons to charge at the top of the range for your service
The psychology behind pricing, and what message your fee conveys to prospects
Value vs. price, and what happens when we compete on price
Special situations: giving your time away, working with friends

This seminar is based on Mikelann Valterra’s workbooks: How to Set and Raise Your Rates—a Woman’s Guide and Emotional Pricing (PDF’s of both workbooks are included).
