Letās talk about something most of us have faced: a client or potential client saying, āYour rate is too high.āĀ š¬Ā š¬
Itās tough, right?Ā No matter how experienced you are as an Online Service Provider, it can shake your confidence and make you question yourself!
Hereās what I want you to remember -Ā just because someone says your rate is too high doesnāt mean it actually is.
When this happens, itās not a reflection of your worth or the quality of your work.Ā
Sometimes clients donāt fully understand the value of what theyāre investing in. Or they just might not be the right fit for youĀ š¤·āāļø
Hereās how you can handle it confidently..
š¬Ā This is the industry standard rate for [insert your service offering].
Youāre not just being paid for your time! Youāre being paid for the expertise, value + the costs that come with running your business. Remember that!
š¬Ā As an Independent Contractor, [insert example: software, taxes, insurances] are all part of the service.
Clients donāt always see the behind the scenes investment, so a little education can go a long way.
š¬Ā Hiring an Online Service Provider is more cost-effective than hiring a full time employee.
Highlight the VALUE! Itās not just about the price tag, itās about the benefits you bring.
Confidence in these moments really comes from āØClarityāØ Knowing the value of your work (and being clear on how to communicate it) is a game changer!Ā
