"YOU'RE TOO EXPENSIVE!" HERE'S HOW TO RESPOND
If you’re running a business as a social media manager, chances are you’ve been told you’re too expensive at least once.
In the early days of my business, I’d accept their opinion of my price - and instantly drop what I charged to suit that opinion - because I was so desperate to hear the yes.
After working to increase my confidence and self worth, I realised I wasn’t too expensive and my services were most definitely worth the price tag I’d placed on them.
I stopped dropping my prices and learned how to confidently respond when someone believed I was too expensive. In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’m sharing a 4 step strategy that you can use the next time someone questions your price.

Q U O T E S:
“It means absolutely nothing about you, it means nothing about your business, it doesn't mean that you are too expensive, it just means their perception of your prices is that it's outside of their budget.”
“Within the space of a year, I transformed my life so much that I quit the 9 to 5 that I was nearly fired from and I actually went backpacking solo, around Southeast Asia.”
“Don't be scared to let a client go.”
“By standing your ground with your price, you're reinforcing the fact that you know you're worthy of your prices, and you're leaving space for a better client to enter your world.”
