How to Show Your Value to Clients and Handling Price Objection with Belinda Rosenblum Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

Today I am chatting with money strategist Belinda Rosenblum and we are diving deep into how you can effectively price your services, how to deal with clients telling you you’re too expensive but more importantly, how to show your clients the value your service brings and not just the dollar amount. This is a topic that was highly requested and Belinda answers some of the pricing questions I know you are dying to know!

Belinda Rosenblum, CPA and Money Strategist, founded Own Your Money and created the signature Cash Flow CEO program, to help ambitious high achieving women entrepreneurs grow a more strategic, profitable business so they work less, profit more, and finally take home real money consistently.

Belinda is also the coauthor of SELF-WORTH TO NET WORTH: 12 Keys To Creating Wealth Inside And Out, and became a self-made millionaire at 33. She believes money management + entrepreneurship can be fun and provide true lifestyle freedom — after all, isn’t that why we got into business? If she’s not inspiring you to be your best self, Belinda is likely enjoying the sunshine and chasing after her marathon-running husband, college junior step-daughter, and 2 spirited young kids.

In this episode, you will learn:

About Belinda’s entrepreneurial journey to where she is now
What to do or say when someone tells you that your services are too expensive
How to communicate features vs. benefits
Ways to work through some of the money stories that are holding you back
