• How different clients value services in various ways.

• Understanding that people make intentional choices about where to spend their money, your services may hold exceptional value to the right audience.

👯‍♀️ Identifying Your Ideal Client

• Why do her clients value the $70 classes at her studio, and why she doesn’t compete with studios offering $7 sessions?

✍️ Insights into Powerful Pricing Strategies

• Charging is based on perceived expertise, the scarcity of your services, and the exclusive community feel you offer.

• Tips on delivering unmatched, personalized value to ensure your prices resonate with your clients.

🧘‍♀️ Katie’s Business Philosophy

• Prioritizing smaller, high-quality classes over large, impersonal ones.

• Designing services specifically around the needs and goals of your target audience.

Your pricing should reflect your unique expertise, ideal client, and the experience you provide—not the competition. Confidently charge what you’re worth, knowing that the right clients will recognise and appreciate your value.
