Your pricing reflects your confidence in your abilities. Underpricing signals inexperience, while appropriate pricing demonstrates professionalism.
#### Market Positioning
- Premium Positioning: 20-50% above market average for specialized expertise
- Competitive Positioning: Within 10% of market average for standard services
- Value Positioning: Below market average but with clear value propositions
#### Client Segmentation
Different clients warrant different pricing approaches:
- Enterprise Clients: Higher rates, formal processes, longer sales cycles
- SMB Clients: Competitive rates, flexible packages, quick turnaround
- Startup Clients: Value-based pricing, potential equity considerations
Customizing Templates for Your Business

- Benefits: Health insurance, retirement savings, vacation time
- Business Expenses: Tools, equipment, marketing, professional development
- Profit Margin: 15-25% above break-even for business growth
#### Service-Specific Multipliers
Different services command different rates based on:
