S3E6: How to Raise Your Rate Without Losing Your Clients or Your Nerve
Six episodes and this is the one that tells you what to do next.
Not inspiration. Not more context. The actual path forward: what to fix first, what to do after that, how to handle the clients you already have, and the specific method that moved my pricing from $7,500 to $15,000 without blowing up my business or losing my nerve every time I sent a proposal.
And before we close out the season? I want to zoom out and give you the bigger picture. Because price is only one of three things. And knowing where price fits inside the full system is going to change how you think about all of this.
This is the finale. It's the one that tells you exactly where to go next.
In this episode:
The order of operations — what to fix before you raise the number (and why doing it in the wrong order is why it keeps not working)
The stair-step method: the two-consecutive-yes signal, the incremental raises, and how to use it whether you're going from $1,500 to $3,000 or $8,000 to $15,000
How to handle existing clients when your pricing changes — the conversation, the timeline, the options
The three P's: Position, Price, and Protect — where this season lives inside the bigger framework, and what's still ahead
What Protect actually means — and why higher rates aren't just about more money, they're about getting your life back
The callback: where we started this season and where we're landing
This is Episode 6 of 6!!! The season finale! HOW?
The season is done. But the work isn't. Everything we covered… the gaps, the positioning, the identity shift, the stair-step… I'm continuing this conversation inside the broadcast channel. And what's coming next is the part I'm most excited about. Stay close.
