If you're like me, you feel this last year has been let's say…..“CHAOTIC!”
Whether it be in our own lives, business and most certainly politically and all the challenges of COVID-19. When chaos strikes and smacks you in the face, what are some specific steps to help you? I often wonder and struggle with this myself, and this week I have Marianne Renner, a highly sought-after Leadership Coach, trainer and keynote speaker on the show to help us with this. She has inspired thousands of leaders to move from chaos to clarity and become all they were meant to become. Marianne is the author of the Chaos to Clarity Success Journal, aimed at helping leaders build the confidence and courage to make their wildest dreams come alive. She has helped thousands of leaders across the U.S. overcome fears, doubts and limiting beliefs. Her live coaching and training programs teach practical tools for navigating through change, building strong relationships and changing mental narratives that hold you back. Marianne understands the importance of setting goals and having a clear plan to reach those goals. She has owned two businesses. She was a bodybuilding champion and highly sought-after fitness instructor, having led two youth dance teams to win Gold Medals in the National Junior Olympics. Marianne holds a Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. Links:

So you have heard of value-based pricing and the potential it brings for higher rates.
But how do you actually do it? What questions should you be asking your clients? In today's episode I unpack 3 simple questions you can ask your clients when moving towards value-based pricing or what I like to call outcome-based pricing. Once you understand this, you can then position your pricing in close relation to that value and get the rates you deserve.

This week I answer some listener questions!
Here's a preview: Steve - – Has a question about monthly subscriptions with three tiers. Cheryl – How should I price Powerpoint presentations? Ian – Do you have a template for scope of work language I can use for my client? 
Contrary to popular belief, the price you charge for your products and services is NOT tied together!.......This may be one of the main reasons you’re not charging those higher tier rates that you know you deserve.
This comes from one of my favorite books by Dan S. Kennedy called No B.S. Marketing to the Affluent. It's called this the Price-Product Link and how restrictive this is in getting those higher tier rates and engagements. Price is not tied to your product or service and as soon as you disconnect those two things in your own mind about your own products and services, you’ll be liberated to make a great deal more money and to have much greater success appealing to affluent customers or clients.
