#201 Common Mistakes Service Providers Make on Packages

Author: Emily Reagan | Digital Marketing Mentor, Speaker April 2, 2024 Duration: 31:41

Here’s what I see happen with freelance service providers:

We jump in, we book our first clients, and then we never look back and never take the time to up-level our positioning and assets so we can attract bigger clients who value us and who pay more. 

This becomes a problem when you’re ready for project rates because you're not positioned as an expert if you're still looking like a generalist.

We’re trying to be premium service providers and we're trying to get there because then we get to charge more, we get to work with the best clients, and we get to work on the services we love.

Listen in to learn more about

  • 6 common mistakes service providers make with packages
  • confidently pricing your services to maximize your earning potential
  • attracting high-paying clients and positioning yourself as an in-demand expert in your field
  • connecting and networking with like-minded service providers in a supportive community 

 

Tune in because I’ll help you avoid these common mistakes and set yourself up for success so you don’t max out your capacity.
