Raise Your Rate Masterclass

How to double, triple, or even 10x your rate

(without fear of rejection)

CORE LESSON

• Why you need to forget everything you know about “getting a raise” to succeed at freelancing (or how to avoid the “Corporate Pricing Trap” many freelancers inadvertently fall prey to)

• The psychological, strategic, and tactical differences between asking for a raise at a “day job” vs commanding more money in your freelancing business (you need to know this even if you’re brand new to freelancing)

• My simple pricing method for skyrocketing your rate quickly, virtually effortlessly, and most importantly with zero risk (I personally used this approach to boost my rate over 900% within my first year of freelancing alone)“

• Why you should (counterintuitively) avoid going for small raises from your clients, and how to get BIG ones instead

• Why you shouldn’t wait to command the type of money that EXCITES you to work in your freelancing business each week

• How to influence the real “gatekeeper” who decides how much you charge (hint: it’s not the clients)

• The biggest pitfall most freelancers fall into when going for a raise, and how to avoid it

• The surprising way freelancers get stuck at a certain rate and end up “plateauing” there (even if they seem “successful” on the surface)

• Why repeat customers — great as they are — usually don’t lead to a high freelancing income (and the secret ingredient you need to add to the mix in order to GROW your rate exponentially)

• The subtle role price “anchoring” plays in how much you charge — and how to use it to your advantage

• My answer to, “What do I do if/when clients see I used to charge so much less than this??”

• The surprising role your price plays in client satisfaction (hint: the clients who pay the least are usually the most unhappy — and the hardest to work with)

• A real-life example of how I successfully used my Rock Climbing Method to increase my rate by 33% from a single client (I was able to earn $2,000 for about 3 days of work)

• My benchmark for determining if you’re charging enough each month and year

• Why negotiation isn’t as scary as it seems

• How you can master negotiation quickly and easily without being “slick” or aggressive (and, in fact, avoiding all of the negative stereotypes…and having fun with it)

• Why a single successful negotiation can easily make up for a few duds, and then some

• The requirements for a successful negotiation, and how to set yourself up to achieve them

• My one, counterintuitive “demand” for every negotiation I enter into

• Why discounting and negotiation aren’t the same thing and should never be confused with one another
