This episode dives into that frustrating phenomenon and equips you with the tools to navigate it. We'll explore why clients might change their minds after initially loving an idea, and how to address their concerns without being pushy. Learn how to: Identify the source of client hesitation: Is it fear? Lack of information? We'll help you uncover the root cause. Open a productive conversation: Acknowledge emotions and frame the discussion around achieving the client's desired outcome.

Hey there, OBMs! This episode is all about money, honey! We're diving into that question you all ask me constantly: how much should you charge as an Online Business Manager? We'll ditch the mumbo jumbo and break it down. Because let's face it, confusing pricing hurts everyone. It makes it hard for you to know your worth and for clients to understand the value you bring. We'll start with figuring out what feels right for you. What's that sweet spot where you're not undervaluing yourself but you're also competitive? Then we'll talk about the cold, hard facts: expenses, insurance, and all that jazz. Here's a sneak peek: you're worth more than you think! We'll also explore the magic of packages. Why package your services? Because packages are like battle armor against the price comparison monster. With a package, you can showcase the full range of value you bring, not just an hourly rate. And let's not forget the damage undercharging does. It hurts you, it hurts your fellow OBMs, and it devalues the entire profession. By charging what you're worth, you're not just helping yourself, you're helping the whole OBM game level up. So if you're ready to ditch the undercharging cycle and step into confident pricing, this episode is for you! We'll also chat about the OBM Academy and some resources to help you rock your pricing strategy. Let's go make that money, OBMs!
