Deb King is a transformational master coach of coaches based in Sydney, Australia with over 20 years of experience. She helps clients transform themselves and their programs but found that once the transformation is done and they looked at the bill, a lot of the value they got during the process was forgotten. Pair that with the difficulty to explain the value of a personal change to someone who has yet to go through it, and she had a real problem charging her worth.
*Questions answered in this episode:
- Why what you are selling is the solution to the symptom the client sees, rather than the real underlying problem that you sense is causing the symptom
- Why do people have the instinct to pay more attention to advice that cost them more
- What's the only condition for a price to be fair to both parties
- How does working fewer hours make your result worth more, not less
- Why do we need our work to be hard in order for its results to feel valuable to us
- Why is it bad to go into detail when itemizing your bill
