Elise delivers lightning-fast inbox management, automates client CRMs, and even dabbles in Zapier—yet she’s billing the same $30 an hour she copied on day one. Under-pricing isn’t just lost income; it can signal “entry-level” to future leads. Let’s show Elise how to calculate her true market value, choose a premium-worthy fee, and raise rates without triggering client panic."When I launched my virtual-assistant business last year, I copied the going rate from a competitor: $30 an hour.

How do I figure out pricing based on my value instead of someone else’s sticker? What factors—like turnaround time or specialized software skills—justify a premium, and how do I communicate that increase without scaring off the clients who got me this far?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
