Why don't consultants price themselves correctly?

 

Don't understand that great marketing cannot save bad economics.

 

Most entrepreneurs think they will be happy with an influx of customers, but do not realise that sales volume and profit margins are not correlated. We've been conditioned with venture capital and social media to believe that the primary goal of a business should be to sell as many units as possible.

 

What most don't understand is that you can actually sell yourself into a hole — and even bankrupt your company by selling too much volume with the wrong economics.

 

If you ask most coaches or consultants why they set their prices at the rates they do, 90% of them cannot give you a good reason.

In this episode, Daniel breaks down strategies for pricing your services as a small to medium-size service provider, coach, consultant. Find out why you should be profitable from the get-go and why Apple rarely offers discounts!

Daniel DiPiazza hosts The New Wave Podcast, a space for exploring the ideas reshaping how we live and work. Each episode moves through interconnected themes like the practical realities of Web 3.0 and cryptocurrency, but the discussions don't stop at technology. They extend into the personal shifts required to navigate this new landscape, touching on psychology, spirituality, and the pursuit of personal sovereignty. You'll hear candid conversations that feel more like a dialogue among friends than a formal interview, offering unfiltered access to a range of thinkers and doers. The aim is to provide actionable perspectives that feel immediately relevant, whether you're building a business, seeking personal growth, or simply trying to understand the forces altering our world. This podcast operates on the belief that adapting to rapid change requires a blend of external knowledge and internal clarity. So if you're looking for a resource that connects the dots between market trends and mindset, where advice is grounded and the future feels approachable rather than intimidating, you've found it. The tide is indeed rising, and these conversations are designed to help you navigate the currents.
