🟠Price Is a Filter—Not a Feature.
How to use premium pricing as a positioning tool and stop attracting low-value, high-maintenance clients.
For years, I thought lowering my price made me more appealing.
I’d think:
“They love what I bring to the table—but the price might scare them off…”
So I’d trim. Tweak. Offer a “lite” version.
And do you know what happened?
I started attracting the wrong clients.
The high-maintenance ones. The ones who needed “just one more call.” The ones who didn’t really value the transformation—just the discount.
But here’s the truth no one tells you:
Price isn’t just a number. It’s a positioning tool.
The right price sends a signal.
It says: “I know what this is worth.” “This isn’t for everyone.” “I solve big problems for serious people.”
Because price doesn’t just determine who can buy. It shapes how they behave after they do.
So if you’re attracting low-value clients, It might not be your service that’s off.
It might be your pricing.
In tomorrow’s email, we’re talking about ghosting—specifically, how being liked isn’t the same as being hired (and what to do when your pitch lands… but doesn’t convert).
(And if you missed the one about how confidence comes from results—not credentials—you can find it HERE.)
Fractional powerhouses aren’t born. They’re built.
