How we work

Three ways to get your pricing right

Start with a workshop, go deeper one to one, and keep the tools that make the next quote faster.

Live

Workshops

Small, practical sessions on setting rates, pricing projects and talking about money with clients. One topic, 90 minutes, your own work on the table.

1:1

Pricing reviews

An hour on your actual numbers: your rates, your packages and the proposal you're about to send. Written notes the next day.

The rate sheet

The worksheet we use in every session. Work out your day rate, break a project into parts, and write the sentence you'll say out loud.

Inside a workshop

Ninety minutes on the project in front of you

No slides about pricing theory. You bring a brief you need to quote, and you leave with the quote.

  • Scope it: break the brief into the parts a client is paying for
  • Price it: put a number on each part, with a buffer for revisions
  • Say it: practice explaining the quote out loud, in plain words

Questions

Before you book

Do I need a project to bring?
It helps a lot. If you don't have one right now, bring the last project you quoted. You'll see what you'd change.
Is it recorded?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets the recording and the worksheet the next morning, whether they made it live or not.
I charge hourly. Is this still for me?
Yes. Most people who come start there. The workshops show you how to turn hours into parts a client can see and agree to pay for.
What if I can't make it?
Move to any later workshop, no charge. Write to us before the session starts.

Your next quote can be the easy one.

Bring a real brief to the next workshop and leave with a price you can stand behind.
