Hot Take: Hourly Billing Is a Disservice to Your Client


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I’m tackling a hot topic—hourly billing for project-based service contracts. My frustrations with this common pricing model stem from its tendency to create a misalignment of interests between service providers and clients. I encourage you to shift towards value-based pricing, where flat rates reflect the true value and expertise you provide. 

By focusing on the outcomes and transformations you deliver, rather than the hours spent, you can enhance the client experience and optimize your processes, benefiting everyone involved. This pricing model can pave the way for more efficient, scalable, and satisfying business practices.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The pitfalls of hourly billing and how transitioning to value-based pricing could redefine the way you do business
  • The misalignment of interests that hourly billing creates between service providers and clients
  • Why setting clear, flat rates can lead to better decision-making for everyone involved
  • Adopting flat fees can help anticipate project needs more accurately, align our services with client expectations, and foster transparency
