Here is our fourth and final episode in our four-part series on rates.

And of course, it is about how to raise yours if and when you need to … or want to!

Raising your rates does not require a dramatic announcement, a bold personality shift, or a confrontational conversation.

If you are stuck charging a rate you aren't happy with, you probably feel all three of those things.

And if so, then I'm glad you are listening in today.

Today let's talk about how raising your rates can feel calm, professional, and grounded when it is done from the right place.

Over this mini series, we have talked about:

• Why your rates are not the real problem
• What clients actually think about your pricing
• The hidden cost of undercharging
• And now, how to raise your rates without burning bridges.

If pricing has been a recurring struggle for you, this is your sign to start looking at yours.

For a sustainable business you need solid rates.

So now is the time!

If you have been taking lots of notes throughout this four-part podcast series, that should tell you something important!

I want to remind you too, that just because you are struggling with rates it doesn't mean you are doing something wrong.

All it means is your rates don't match your services. Or your level of expertise.

That's why I'm running a live Packages Workshop in a few weeks.

In this workshop, we're going to work on your actual rates. Your best services. How to price those so you can speak really confidently to clients about them. So you can sign them.

If you're ready for pricing to feel simpler, clearer – and much more in line with the value you provide to your clients, you need to register for this workshop.

You can find all the details right here - or drop me a DM and I'll send you the link.

I'm here to help – it's the only reason I'm here at all – to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant.

I'll leave you here for this week, thanks so much for tuning in.

I'm Tracey D'Aviero, The Confidence Coach for VAs - and I'll see you next time!
