Often, after the initial excitement of getting a new client fizzles away, they end up feeling frustrated, working too hard, and struggling to make a living instead of creating the lifestyle they desire.
Fortunately, increasing your fees can be easier than you think. But before I share with you a few “how-to” tips, let’s first explore what’s getting in your way of charging more.
Not knowing how to find and approach a more congenial clientele that’s better positioned to use your services and pay you what you are actually worth.
Not having a compelling marketing message that underscores the benefits of working with you and, in a meaningful way, differentiates your offering from others.
Generating too few leads and worrying that if this prospect doesn’t buy, you may not have another one for a while, so you settle for lower fees and working with less than ideal client.
Poor sales skills. I know this is not the favorite topic for many solo-professionals, but fact is you need to learn how to have an open and honest sales conversation and ask qualified prospects for the business.
Last, but not least, limiting beliefs about money, lack of confidence around your business, and low self-esteem, can all seriously impair your ability to successfully command higher fees. Frankly, what’s going on in your head, can appear to be every bit just as real as the objections and pressure from your potential clients.
So how can a good marketing strategy help you get paid more? To start with think positioning vs. prospecting.
When you are prospecting you are chasing after potential clients. They can smell your sales pitch from a mile and run from you like from a mad dog. If all you’ve got with your prospect is your salesperson status – they will likely question your prices, compare you to other “similar” offers, and try to negotiate your fees down to the bare bones.

Thirty-three years ago Heinz Ketchup lost their business with their biggest account, McDonalds. Since then they have been working to win it back. They lost McDonalds’ business back in 1973 because there was a small tomato crop and, instead of shorting the supply of bottled ketchup, Heinz shipped less to the “Golden Arches.” In the past few years they had some success when they won McDonald’s business in parts of Europe and Asia, but they have yet to crack North America. Michael Hasco, the Heinz executive with the responsibility of capturing this significant business was quoted as saying, “I’m not giving up, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”I took that statement, “It’s a marathon,

6 steps to a new understanding of old problems.A Gardner I am not, but a few years ago some Raspberries were transplanted and took over the North side of my house. As I was taking my evening stroll in my yard, I noticed that they were loaded with sweet red berries. I decided to spend the time picking several quarts of the elusive red berries. Red raspberries and a cup of ice cream sure sounded good to me.The raspberries were elusive because every time I thought all were picked, more would appear when a leaf or bush was moved and another angle of view was used. After going over the entire growth in one direction, more missed berries were noted on the way back. So a simple tas

Still, you will have to get the word out about your business if you want customers. Here are some ways to save money.Business cards are a must, but many people don’t get them right away because of the cost. What they don’t realize is that there are ways to get them very inexpensively! If you have a word processing or desktop publishing program on your computer, you can make your own. Many programs have templates for business cards, and some even have pre-designed ones that you can simply customize with your own information. Y

Have you ever heard of the BBS or the Bulletin Board Job Posting Online System? This is how the early stage of the Internet looked like. This works like your regular bulletin board.

Next, recognize that your marketing and selling process has to make your potential clients realize three things:
• First, that they have a problem. And not just a little problem –but a really big and hairy one, that’s costing them a fortune to ignore and needs to be taken care of quickly.
By the way, the costs don’t always have to be in dollars. They can be in lost productivity, lost relationships, lost happiness, lost health, and so on.
• Second, that they don’t have the necessary skills to deal with their problem. They need to clearly see it would take too much of their time and effort to take care of their big and hairy problem on their own.
• Finally, the third thing you must make your prospects realize is that you are the expert in dealing with big, hairy problems. You eliminate them quickly and painlessly, paying your fee is a real bargain comparing to the cost of living with the pain, and waiting another minute to call you is just bad business!
You may say: “Wait a minute! That’s a whole lot of convincing I’ve got to do.” Yeah, you’re right, it is. I never said it was going to be easy, but it’s actually quite simple. Here are a few how-to tips you can start with.
Analyze your real strengths, as well as your past and current clients. Look for patterns when you did your best work and created great results for clients. Then focus your marketing on a specific group of prospects that you can deliver most value to.
Develop a magnetic marketing message that clearly and succinctly describes your potential clients and communicates the HUB – hot-undeniable-benefits of working with you.
