Organised by Roundhouse
“How to” is our monthly online series giving you all the necessary bite size skills to be successfully self-made.
Stuck on how to price yourself as a freelancer? Worried about over or under charging? Don’t worry, the Roundhouse has got your back…
In this workshop Alison Grade, author of The Freelance Bible, will explore the strategies you can use to work out your value to existing and importantly, potential clients. Alison will delve into your ‘secret sauce’ – that particular value that you deliver for your clients and how you can use this knowledge to move from trading time for money into a value-based proposition for clients.
She will also examine what you really need to live on. From this you will be able to generate individual ‘sales targets’ to ensure you keep your finances on track. Alison will then discuss strategies for estimating your value based on daily rates, sales targets, benchmarking, and other variables to give an understanding of the market tolerance for rates. By the end of the workshop individuals will leave with an understanding of how to value their work based on the impact of their services for their clients and the confidence to price their work accordingly.
