How to Raise your Prices with Existing Clients


Listen Later

First of all, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate. This episode is released on Christmas Day here in New Zealand and I hope you are all having a lovely break. I know this can be a time where you've maybe got some time off during your regular 9-5 job, and it means you can really focus on your side hustle. So, I thought it was important to keep these episodes coming over the holiday break so you can get some really good upskilling happening!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of increasing prices and provide you strategies for raising prices with existing clients. I emphasise the timing of price increases and the need to evaluate prices regularly. I also share tips for justifying the price increase and present a strategy from my Dishing Up Digital School. I then advise on how to present the price increase to clients and offer encouragement for dealing with rejection.

Takeaways:

  • Increasing prices is important for business growth and profitability.
  • Timing is crucial when raising prices, and the end of the year is a great opportunity.
  • When raising prices with existing clients, consider the amount of experience, the last price increase, and potential additional services.
  • Justify the price increase by highlighting achievements and the value provided.
  • Present the price increase strategically, focusing on the client's wins and offering a discounted rate compared to new clients.
  • Don't be afraid of rejection; losing clients who don't value your work can lead to better opportunities.
  • Thank you all so much for your support throughout the year. It really means a lot to me. 
    Be kind to yourself this holiday season and I'll see you all in the new year!

    Take Care
    Ellen xx
