Pricing is never easy.
There’s physical costs to consider but also metaphysical considerations like time and profitability. But there’s also our own pre-conceived notions about money, our own values and limiting beliefs that we unknowingly bring to the equation.
On this episode we talk with Annemie Tonken all about pricing, how to get out of your own head and set up a system that works FOR you.
Melissa & Alison both use Annemie’s stratgies in our businesses - but very differently!
Annemie is a family photographer in North Carolina and founder of the Simple Sales Blueprint - a system that combines the strategy of in person sales with automation to give you more time.

One of Alison’s FAVORITE Topics - How to Adapt.
This is a super interesting convo about how we’ve adapted our businesses over time as we’ve relocated, pivoted & raised our prices.
Every business changes over time. It may be because you pivot niches, rice your prices, change the business model, switch Industries altogether or move across the country. We have to adapt.
Alison & Melissa walk through the areas to adapt:
Prices & Offerings
Demographics
Target Clientele
Marketing
Business Model
Getting New Clients

You’re probably thinking about blogging all wrong… as a last minute effort instead of the primary marketing strategy it should be.
In this episode we go over all the major places you need to be sharing your blog post links and several ways to rehash that article into multiple posts, carousels and reels.
Your blog posts should be the foundation of your marketing plan, not a "when you have a time" task.
