Episode description

Here's a question with a lot of moving parts.


One of our members asks:

Have client who wants advisory, 1 hour a week. I’m skeptical they’ll want to pay my £200/hr rate. Pre A round. What would you do/suggest?


Some highlights of my response include:

  • Don't let clients prescribe solutions/scope/how you deliver your work
  • You want to create solutions based on their goals—which are determined by your ability to deliver on it and the value of that outcome
  • Whatever you do, don't sell by the hour
  • Bake in a few other pieces of value so they can't take your rate and divide it by a number of hours
  • Consider a few options: one-off strategy calls, productized services, custom, group coaching

Give it a listen, I cover lots more examples.

Yours,
