Most Agencies Are Guessing Their Prices

  • You price a proposal and immediately think “did I undercharge?”

  • You lose deals because your pricing feels awkwark

  • You charge $2K when you know the value is $8K

  • There is no money at the end of the month to pay you let alone make a profit

  • Every proposal feels like a gamble

The problem isn’t your skill.
It’s that nobody teaches agencies how pricing actually works.

If you are about to pitch a new client:

This course will help you walk into that conversation knowing exactly what to say, how to price, and how to hold your ground - without overexplaining or discounting.
​You’ll learn to position your offer as the obvious solution, not just another option.

If you are about to send another month’s low retainer invoice:

Imagine sending your next invoice.... except it’s triple the price, to a client who thanks you for it.
​That’s what this course will teach you to create.

The Confident Pricing Method

Most agencies are taught to price their work using one of three methods:

  • Hourly rates

  • Competitor pricing

  • Guessing what the client will accept

And all three create the same problem.

You end up asking yourself:

“Did I undercharge?” and "Why do I have no money left?"

The Retainer Pricing Method

  • Client Value – First, you estimate the value of the outcome for the client. If your work could help a company generate an additional $50,000 in revenue, then a $5,000 retainer suddenly makes complete sense. This shifts pricing away from hours worked and toward impact created.

  • Work Scope – Next, you define the actual activities required to achieve that outcome. Not vague services. But clearly structured work tied to results.

    This prevents scope creep and makes pricing easier to justify.

  • Profit Margin – Finally, you apply a margin that makes the work profitable. Many agencies accidentally run at 20–30% margins, which leads to stress and burnout. Confident agencies price for 60–70% margins, giving them room to grow, hire, and scale.

Most agencies charge for managing marketing.

Meet Your Coach

I’m a marketing strategist and project manager with over 20 years of experience across both corporate and agency worlds, with degrees in Media and Behavioural Science.

Over the years I’ve led multi-million-dollar global marketing projects, built and scaled multiple 7-figure agencies, and worked with businesses of every size, from large corporates to fast-growing startups.

Across those agencies I’ve structured and sold retainers ranging from $4,000 to $30,000+ per month, which is where the pricing framework inside this training comes from.

It isn’t theory.

It’s the exact approach I’ve used to confidently price high-value engagements and build agencies that are both profitable and sustainable.

In 2023, after running a large team and hitting $250K months, I completely burned out.

On paper the business looked successful.
But behind the scenes I had built something that left me exhausted and disconnected from the life I actually wanted, especially time with my kids.

So I rebuilt everything.

I simplified my agency, redesigned it around profit, clarity, and lifestyle, and created a model that allowed me to keep high-value clients without the chaos.

Now I help other agency owners do the same.

Because scaling your agency shouldn’t require sacrificing your life to make it work.
