💡 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.
