Let's talk about the magical pricing equation for your marketing agency. Isn't it time to STOP trading time for money and price agency services for what you're really worth? A lot of agencies get into the predicament where they are charging by the hour and then as they start working more efficiently they complete the work faster and actually lose money. That's right! As you get smarter, you make LESS MONEY. Don't let it happen... or if it is already happening to you, here's how to make it stop. 1. Understand the client's expectations. If you price lower than the client is expecting it raises questions as to why you're too low. Think about if someone offered to sell you an amazing sports car for only $100. You'd wonder what's wrong it. The same is true for when you price agency services. If it's too low, they'll wonder what's wrong and more than likely you'll lose the pitch. 2. Fill in the pricing equation and start charging based on value. To do this, look at the value you have provided to your clients over the last 6 months and then divide it by 10. That way you can rationalize results to your new prospects and give them actual (average) numbers. And, you can promise them a 10X ROI. So, if you want to make more revenue you can't just "willy nilly" raise prices. But when you understand expectations and past results you can apply them to the agency pricing equation and price your services according to VALUE. How does your agency determine pricing? If you're charging hourly, have I convinced you to stop losing money? :) Comment below and tell me your story.
