Story of Success: Jackie has been a business owner for over 5 years and has always struggled with setting prices for her products and services.   When asked by potential clients, "How much do you charge," instead of answering she would delay her response until she had time to research the internet and evaluate her competitor's prices. After spending countless hours surfing the net, she would finally pull a price out of the air with no real consideration as to how those random rates would affect her business' bottom line. It wasn't until she was introduced to the "business pricing" concept in the Pricing for Profits course that she was able to identify additional streams of income, set realistic and competitive prices, as well as create a simple strategy for quickly determining her weekly, monthly, and annual financial goals. Now, Jackie can confidently discuss her prices with potential clients and is on target for having a productive and profitable year.
