<p>How should you price yourself? How should you value yourself? Not sure? Listen to this podcast below with Duncan MacPherson from <a href="http://www.paretosystems.com">Pareto Systems</a> to find out more. Remember, you&#8217;re the best at what you do, and not everyone can do what you do (scarcity). So valuing yourself the right way is very important. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.jimkukral.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jfk_value.gif"><img src="http://www.jimkukral.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/jfk_value.gif" alt="" title="jfk_value" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1286" /></a></p>
<p>Also remember, starting a relationship with a customer is very important. If you start by dropping your price, you&#8217;re setting a precedent for the future relationship. </p>
<p>We also talk about how to value yourself as an employee working for a company. What&#8217;s YOUR value? Do you want to make MORE MONEY??? Of course you do. Learn how to value yourself.</p>
<blockquote><p>Clients focus on what your value is, not what you cost! Or at least they should.<br />
A cynic is somebody who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing &#8211; Oscar Wilde.<br />
Advice for employees. The marketplace rewards what we deserve, not what we want.<br />
Build your case for what the market will bear.</p></blockquote>

<p>Good question, eh? I&#8217;m willing to bet you suffer from what most people suffer from&#8230; devaluing yourself or your business. You know&#8230; charging too little, or not making your value known to customers and employers.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.jimkukral.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/big-bell-value-menu.jpg'><img src="http://www.jimkukral.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/big-bell-value-menu.jpg" alt="" title="big-bell-value-menu" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1151" /></a></p>
<p>Admit it, it&#8217;s ok. Everyone does it. But the time to stop is now. You&#8217;re never going to get where you want if you continue to devalue your knowledge and experience.</p>
<p>So how do you determine your value as a consultant or employee or as a sales organization? Some people or companies have no idea how to price themselves, or when/if to discount. Today I talk with Duncan Macpherson from <a href="http://www.paretosystems.com/">Pareto Systems</a>, and co-author of &#8220;Breakthrough Business Development&#8221;.</p>
<p>We talk about value and negotiating your value. Good stuff the consultant who needs to know how to price or value their work and time.</p>
