    I rent Tents For large corporate events.
    When I started I undervalued my tents so low, and I was always treated like trash and they expected more.
    Years later I started charging so much more and have noticed a huge difference.
    Clients treat us with more respect and are very thankful at the end of the event.

    Pricing is always a scary thought for me.
    "I want to charge more so I don't have to find other clients."
    "I'm afraid to charge more because what if I won't have any clients!"
    Pricing is a mind shift that will take the business to higher levels.

    After watching this specific video for the 50th??? Time I felt like my ‘1’ like ages ago seemed no longer enough.....
    There are so many facets here that it’s taken me a year of actual business to start using more than just a few. I have read WWPM 2x so far and the second time 75% more of the book made a lot more sense than the first time when I was completely green. Both this video series and the book (Win Without Pitching Manifesto) are great primers for anyone starting a new business (creative or not).

    I need these conversations. I started focusing on making product videos for Amazon sellers about two years ago and started out as just accepting free product as payment. Then I timidly began asking for 20-40 to make the video. Now I'm up to $125 for a basic video which is likely still too low but each time I raise prices I feel better about doing the work and less resentment about changes and other things.

    Regarding Blair’s general fee of more zeros vs. Chris’s more specific, we tried both and the specific fee works better for us.
    I think the application depends on the market, service, and reputation. We’re a relatively young architecture firm so clients feel more at ease knowing there was some basis with the computation. I do agree that fees that feel solid or have more zeros show expertise, but it may apply to companies with more experience.

    Regarding the price debate:
    A specific price with a 995 or whatever ending implies just what you said, a discount. Following Blair's idea of charging a premium, in market economics a full round number signifies a premium product. Louis Vuitton will charge 5k for a handbag, not 4995.
