In my work as a success coach for solopreneurs, consultants, small business owners, and private practitioners, I’m frequently asked questions about how people should price their work, package their programs and services, and create compelling offers that generate a “Yes – I’ve got to have this!” buy-now response.
I’ve learned over the years that to develop high-demand programs and services that offer great value AND generate the revenue you want takes much more than just strong marketing copy. It requires keen insight, customer perspective awareness, courage, healthy boundaries, great relationship-building and engagement skills, and finally, a real grasp on your competition and your audience, and what they need, want and will pay for.
The key blocks I’ve observed to pricing your products successfully or getting the sales response you want include:
1) Your deep down fear that no one will pay what you’re asking
2) A lack of understanding and articulating what you offer that stands apart from the competition
3) Not creating a sense of urgency or reason to buy NOW
4) Your insecurity about the true value of what you offer (and a lack of proven outcomes to demonstrate your value)
5) Connecting with the wrong audience for what you have created
6) Confusing your enthusiasm and excitement for your product with your customers’ true feelings about it
7) Not guiding your prospective customer through a compelling process that inevitably leads to a sale
