đź’ˇ The arbitrary denominator


Think back to your time in corporate. Do you remember hearing this?

  • “I can’t do Thursday, we have our hourly planning meeting.”
  • “We beat our hourly earnings guidance by 10%”
  • “You can read more about our mission in our hourly report.”

​

Sounds ridiculous, right?

​

Your clients don’t run hourly businesses.

They look for monthly progress against quarterly and annual profitability goals.

​

So, instead of pricing yourself in terms of an arbitrary hourly denominator...

Frame your rate as a fraction of the total profitability they’re after.

​

In doing so, rather than being perceived as a steep cost…

You’ll be perceived as an enabler of the greater goal.

Which you are.
