 What has the BIGGEST impact on your prices?

 Nope, not the customer.

 Not your competitors.

 Not your costs.

You do. Your behavior, what you choose to do or not do has a bigger impact on your prices and your pricing strategy than anything else. This is why it's important to take a look at behavior styles and pricing.

In this episode, I speak with Shelly Starks, a communications coach and behavioral analysis expert as well as the CEO of Inline Consulting Services. I wanted to understand not only her pricing journey but how she helps sales teams have better pricing discussion.

Her expertise is all about the impact of understanding behavioral styles and I was curious how it relates to and impact pricing.. Shelly shares how identifying and adapting to different communication styles can lead to more effective conversations and better business outcomes. We delve into her journey of becoming a communications coach, overcoming cultural taboos about discussing money, and improving pricing strategies through increased self-awareness and confidence. Shelly also discusses the importance of recognizing one's own worth and value in professional settings to enable fair and effective pricing.

In this episode, we discuss how to navigate foreign tax policy changes and how they can impact your US tax filing.

We begin with a high-level review of the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC), which we broke down in full in another episode here: https://www.swisscastnetwork.ch/show/passport-to-wealth/how-to-use-the-foreign-tax-credit-to-reduce-your-us-tax-bill/

As an example, we discuss a recent tax policy change in Switzerland which raised the deduction you are eligible to claim for your childcare expenses. While this change reduces your Swiss tax bill, it can lead to an unexpected tax bill when filing your US tax return, as your FTC amount is reduced.

Keeping updated on tax laws is important for everyone, especially expats! We provide some strategies for staying on top of tax law changes.
