Monday

How should you price yourself? How should you value yourself? Not sure? Listen to this podcast below with Duncan MacPherson from Pareto Systems to find out more. Remember, you’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.

Also remember, starting a relationship with a customer is very important. If you start by dropping your price, you’re setting a precedent for the future relationship.

We also talk about how to value yourself as an employee working for a company. What’s YOUR value? Do you want to make MORE MONEY??? Of course you do. Learn how to value yourself.

Clients focus on what your value is, not what you cost! Or at least they should.

Advice for employees. The marketplace rewards what we deserve, not what we want.
Build your case for what the market will bear.

Especially in sales, there's this notion that you have to be overly accommodating for your client. Well, you should to an extent. But you also have to create boundaries. You can't be too accommodating to the point that you undervalue yourself and earn nothing at all.

It is true that in these commercial economy of present day society, one gets value only from the money he/she has. As we have to change accordingly, we need to earn more money and get good value to ourselves.

Yeah…i mean I have done that before in the past by dropping the prices of my products, thinking that, If I drop the price, the more customers that I will have. But you know what I found? Conversion rates don't care about price. If you are selling a peice of jewelry for $10 and another peice of jewelry for $50, which one would sell more? Guess what? It doesn't matter, because if you use the same marketing tactics for both, you will get the same results. This is why you must determine what the value of your product really is so you don't short change yourself.

Valuing yourself is a really very important role in career building. If you devalue yourself, then you can't improve and you will stay in one same place all the time. And that is what nobody knows, so it is crucial to sell your skills at proper price.

It is crucial to think highly of yourself. Even if some people think you are too modest, or worse.
