Description
Underpricing is the most common mistake independent operators make—and it's rarely about the number. It's about how the engagement is framed. In this session, we unpack the shift from hourly thinking to outcome-based pricing, with real proposals and rate structures from Starters who have made the transition.
We'll cover how to anchor conversations around business impact, when to walk away from scope creep, and how to structure retainers that protect your time while giving brands the predictability they need. Bring your current pricing model—you'll want to rework it by the end.
