When Your Clients Tell You They Pay For Your Knowledge, Not Your Time

Sometimes I feel I get a little stuck on repeat, especially when talking about the importance of swapping out that pricing conversation with a value conversation.

But, I know how much this simple shift in mindset can transform your business.

And it really makes my day when one of my members reaches out and tells me that something I said or shared 'really resonated', 'finally clicked', was a 'truth bomb', 'light bulb moment', a 'break-through', 'mind blowing', a 'big gold nugget', or a 'beacon going off in my head'.

And that's exactly what so many tell me following our Webinars, Live Q&As or as a result of all the goodies in the Pricing Series inside the Academy. And it made my heart sing, every single time!

One of my recent favourites has to be from earlier this week, when Chrissie, who after attending our Webinar - The Bookkeeper's Guide to Pricing and completing the Pricing Series in the Academy, revisited her pricing strategy and had THAT conversation with her clients.

Though instead of it being a PRICING conversation, it was a VALUE conversation.

And the response from her clients was another mind-blowing moment - in all the good ways. Here's what Chrissie had to say about going all in with a value conversation.

"It was such a massive beacon going of in my head when I had that conversation with my clients and they said to me "We pay for your knowledge, not your time".

It was mind blowing.

I was like, oh, why had I not thought about that before...

It gave me another perspective also... One of the things that you discussed in your webinar was about classing your clients A, B, C or D. And that really, again, resonated with me.

I actually really looked at it. And I thought - I have so much more to offer my A and B class clients. Why am I even bothering with these D class clients who really don't care?

I've really just been bumbling along, and all of a sudden I was like, right - I really want to see those D class clients, and even the C class clients go, to then be able to offer even more value to my A and B class clients. So, that was another big break through for me."

It's amazing what a shift in mindset and a little virtual support can achieve! By optimising the value and services you are delivering to your A and B class clients, you can increase your profits and achieve a truly scalable business model.

Have you had a light bulb moment recently? I'd love to hear about it.
