91. How to Raise Your Financial Coaching Rates: A Step-by-Step Guide

  • Summary

  • Have you been thinking about raising your prices but feel a little queasy about having that conversation with your clients? You're not alone. In today's episode, we’re talking about real-life conversations about raising rates without cringing or worrying that every client is going to pack their bags. Or at least not worrying as much as you may have before this episode.

    You’ll learn how to have these conversations with confidence (without that awkward shoulder shrug or apologetic tone we sometimes default to). Whether you're wondering if you should grandfather in your long-time clients (like my wonderful client who stayed at $75 per session for over a decade), or you're trying to figure out the right timing for your increase, we cover it all.

    You'll also learn a simple formula to calculate your new rates that takes into account the hours you actually want to work (because burnout isn't part of your business plan). Plus, you’ll hear specific examples of how to communicate your price increase in a way that focuses on the benefits to your clients.

    And if you're worried about what might happen - like losing all your clients overnight - we talk about that too. There's a simple exercise that helps put those fears in perspective and builds your confidence for these important conversations.
    Join us for an honest discussion about growing your coaching business in a way that serves both you and your clients better. Because at the end of the day, that's what raising your prices should be about.
