Pricing With Confidence: A Simple Method That Works

Let’s be honest — pricing your services can feel impossible.

Too high? You’re scared no one will book.
Too low? You’re working non-stop and still struggling to make enough.

The real issue? You’re guessing.

Let’s fix that with a simple, confident pricing method that actually works.

Step 1: Know Your Numbers

Before you can price anything, you need to know what your business needs to survive — and then grow.

Work out your:

  • Monthly expenses (business + personal)

  • Tax and savings buffer

  • Ideal working hours

  • Income goal

Example:
If you want to earn £3,000/month and only work 20 hours/week, your minimum hourly rate is £37.50.
(And that’s before profit.)

Step 2: Sell Outcomes, Not Hours

Hourly pricing is fine for quick tasks — but it doesn’t reflect your value.

Clients pay for results, not your time.

Instead of saying “£40/hour,” try:
“Brand strategy package: £850” — and highlight the results, not the hours.

Step 3: Build Packages Based on Value

Your pricing should reflect what the service achieves, not how long it takes.

Think:

  • What transformation are you delivering?

  • How valuable is that to the client?

  • What does it save them in time, stress, or revenue?

Step 4: Use Anchoring

Present your pricing in a way that makes sense — and helps people choose.

Try a 3-tier offer:

  1. Starter – Low commitment intro offer

  2. Signature – Best value, most booked

  3. Premium – Higher investment, more support

It helps clients see the range and positions your middle offer as the sweet spot.

Step 5: Say It With Confidence

You can’t sell what you don’t believe in.

The more confident you are in your pricing, the more others will be too.

Remember: the right clients aren’t just choosing the cheapest option — they’re choosing the most trusted.

Step 6: Review + Raise Regularly

You are allowed to increase your rates — especially as you grow, gain experience, or deliver better results.

Set a schedule: review your prices every 6 months.
Raise them gradually or when you’re fully booked.

No need to over-explain or apologise.
