Listen Later

Be willing to own your experience and the value that you bring to your clients and projects. If you feel you're worth what your charging, so will your clients!

Want to raise your design rates? Your costs have increased and it's time you raise your rates to match this. It's tempting to put our emotions into these decisions but today is all about sharing how to make this a little easier!

In this episode we discuss things like…

  1. How to raise your rates and fees with ease.
  2. How to deliver the message that your rates will be changing.
  3. How to feel your worth what you're charging so your clients do as well.

Here's a glance at this episode…

[05:13] I share about how you could gradually increase existing clients as you increase your rates to newer clients coming in. Remember: not all clients have to be at the same rate.

[08:35] Don't be afraid to lose some clients. I share how raising your rates may lead to some loss of clients but this makes room for new clients.

[09:45] I share how you can explain your rate increase to clients and discussion points you may want to have.

[12:00] I share about using a fee ladder structure and how you can share this with your clients as well as timelines to share with clients.
