How to Raise Your Prices without Losing Income
As a creative, you likely struggle to figure out how much you should charge for your services. While things like interior design, organizing, or staging might feel like second nature to you, you know that other people struggle deeply to accomplish any of those things.
Those people are your clients, and you are highly valuable to them. How does that factor translate into your pricing model?
Plus, what if you've been undercharging for years and have finally realized it's time to raise your rates? What should your new rate be - and why? What profit margin should you aim to have?
Today on the podcast I have business coach Jennifer Kok to shed light and provide a clear, simple way of thinking around how to price your services.

Did you ever struggle with pricing your services / products throughout your various businesses?
When you sold your business, how did you determine its valuation?

Is there a formula for determining what an interior designer's new rates should be and, if so, what is it?
How often should interior designers raise their rates?
