THIS IS A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER
This is the auction mentality
This is what I was
doing with my pricing.
I allowed my clients to determine

Don’t allow your fears or
anxiety to limit your income.

• Flat rate pricing works if you can
manage your time.
• Price anchoring increase the chances of
winning a project (client’s choice).
EXPERIMENT RESULTS
VALUE BASED PRICING
Price based on the value provided
not on the amount of time it takes to
