How to Develop a Pricing Strategy is so much more than a book on how to price for our services. I felt lifted after reading it – confident to set aside time dedicated to just me, my business, and my future.

Before, I would freeze as soon as a client asked me for a quote. Once I’d defrosted, I felt sick. I hated quoting for anything beyond a simple proofread or copyedit. ‘Whatever you think is fair,’ was my approach, a strategy that effectively placed me in a perpetual state of either anxiety or denial.
​
This guide gave me hope. Louise always gives me hope! She smashed my preconceived ideas with a demolition ball, and at first I felt rather exposed. Several chocolate bars and a few chapters later, I began stripping my pricing strategy bare. Then Louise gave me the tools to build it back up so that now it’s built on firmly rooted foundations rather than balancing on wobbly toothpicks.
​
Through it, I discovered that I had undervalued myself and therefore undervalued my skills and experience. Now I have a pricing voice because I own me and all that I choose to do.
