How to Charge a Premium for Your Services

How to Charge a Premium for you Services As a small business owner in Westchester, NY, how do you charge a premium for your services? What if your potential customer or client thinks you’re too expensive?

And if price is a reflection of value, how do you show your prospective customer the value in the services or products you offer?

In the words of Warren Buffet, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.”

Simply put, value is seen as two things:

It’s a great price, when the value exceeds the cost.
It’s too expensive, when the cost surpasses the potential value.

It’s a careful balance getting the right compensation for the work you do, while getting your prospective client to agree on your pricing. You don’t want to charge too much and lose these possible clients, but you also don’t want to under value the services and products you offer by pricing too low.

On the flipside, if you never have clients tell you that you’re too expensive, you’re probably not charging enough.

It’s a great price, when the value exceeds the cost.
