Week 1 Clarified your customer and revenue direction
Week 2 Strengthened your positioning and message
Week 3 Learned from outreach and customer responses
Week 4 Make pricing, packaging, and scope decisions
Pricing is not simply choosing a number. A useful price reflects the outcome you help create, the scope of the work, the time and expertise required, the customer’s alternatives, and what you need for the work to be sustainable.

Customer outcome
Clarify the problem, desired result, and value your work helps create.

Scope and package
Define what is included, excluded, limited, and expected from both sides.

<aside> 🧮
Sustainability
Consider your costs, capacity, expertise, non-billable time, and business needs.
</aside>
You do not need a perfect pricing model before you begin. You need a starting point you can explain, test in real conversations, and revise based on what you learn.
If a price feels uncomfortable to say, clarify the scope, package, customer outcome, and rationale before automatically lowering the number.
