Have you ever wanted to raise your rates when working with corporate companies but felt worried or anxious about the change? Perhaps you know that you’re undercharging – and you’re even feeling resentful about the amount of work you’re doing vs the amount that you’re being paid but you’re panicking that if you change your rates, you’ll lose clients and revenue?

It’s totally normal to feel that way – and it’s something that I hear a lot from clients and community members who’ve started selling to corporate companies and realised that they’re undercharging for their expertise but don’t feel confident to raise their rates just in case they start to lose clients or see a reduction in revenue.

This episode shares the exact strategies that I use to change my prices – so that you can learn in real-time how to identify if you need to raise your rates and feel confident about changing them.

In this episode, I’m sharing;
