Sharing all we know about costing and pricing.
A solid understanding costing and pricing is crucial for freelancers, solo-preneurs, design studio / agency founders and managers. It’s the foundation for a robust, sustainable creative business.
Spilling our guts on pricing is a presentation covering the practical ‘how-to’s’ of costing and pricing — from calculating your ‘real’ hourly rate to introducing (and discussing) value pricing. And we talk benchmarks – describing the profit levels you should expect from delivering different types of design services.
Spilling our guts on pricing also includes clients. We demonstrate how to benchmark existing clients to get more from every client dollar.
This is a recording of one of most popular Lunchtime Learnings – Spilling our Guts on pricing. The testimonials in the side column are just some of the comments received after the session.
Take this as an opportunity to revisit the presentation if you’ve seen it before, or watch for the first time.
