If you’ve been around for a little while you’ve probably heard me say this--but I’m going to say it again, because it bears repeating (often!). ⠀
⠀
CLIENT RETENTION IS STRESS PREVENTION. ⠀
⠀
It’s a simple idea, but one that’s often overlooked by a lot of service providers. ⠀
⠀
And I suppose it’s human nature to be focused on MORE. ⠀
⠀
👉More followers. ⠀
⠀
👉More clients. ⠀
⠀
👉More money. ⠀
⠀
More, more more… ⠀
⠀
But what about the clients you already have? ⠀
⠀
What if you focused MORE on them… ⠀
⠀
It’s actually easier & less time-consuming to up-sell a new service or raise your prices with an existing client than it is to attract & sign on a brand new one. ⠀
⠀
Not to mention, by paying more attention & delivering an even better experience to the clients who’ve already said yes--you can help to ensure they stick with you for the long haul, which provides you with more stability & security! ⠀
⠀
Don’t overlook clients who are right in front of you…check out the video for 3 tips for retaining your very best clients!

How to Raise Your Social Media Services Pricing Strategically
Pricing is an extremely popular (if not THE MOST POPULAR) topic I discuss with peers, clients & within The SMCEO Clubhouse. 💰
Money is clearly an important part of running a business, so it’s really no surprise that the question, “how much should I charge,” is on every service-provider’s mind…
Are you charging too little?
If so you run the risk of burning out & resenting your clients.
Are you charging too much?
If so you may be repelling your ideal client & missing out on quality leads
I’ve worked with my fair share of social media service providers & in my experience, most new business owners make the mistake of undercharging.
In this video I'm sharing how to know when it's time to raise your prices as well as some strategic ways to increase your rates that aren't super scary!

⚡️WHY YOU SHOULD LIST YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES PRICING ON YOUR WEBSITE ⚡️
⚡️WHY YOU SHOULD LIST YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES PRICING ON YOUR WEBSITE ⚡️
When I decided to scale my business & bring in a team to help me, I realized that the value I was offering with a team was definitely worth more than my current solo pricing.
Not to mention, I now had to pay these team members-- so I’d need to bring in more money to make my business sustainable for all of us.
I sat down & calculated the lowest monthly retainer amount that I would be willing to accept for the services my team provided. I decided that $1500 was my absolute minimum.
Now, I’m definitely not saying that has to be your minimum, but as you work to scale your business, you should clearly define your baseline pricing.
Once you’ve established your baseline, you should slap it up on your services page.
Why should you list your social media services pricing on your website? I’ll explain that in this video…

⚡️THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOCIAL MEDIA PROPOSAL & A SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY ⚡️
⚡️THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOCIAL MEDIA PROPOSAL & A SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY⚡️
Let me just get this out in the open: A Social Media Proposal is different than your Social Media Strategy.
I feel like that’s important to share because I’ve seen a lot of social media managers make the mistake of giving away too much information & spending way too much time on their proposals-- only to have client leads disappear after they’ve delivered the information.
If you’re giving your lead a completed Social Media Strategy then they should be paying you for a consulting or strategy session.
Once they have a strategy, they could potentially implement all of your ideas themselves, or hire someone else to do it… so don’t accidentally give away your entire game plan for free!
Check out this video to learn the difference between a proposal and a strategy & what you can do instead…
