For many people, the decision to increase the cost of a service is very difficult. Little experience, little knowledge, few “crusts” - these are the main arguments that guide a specialist. And then the specialist gets tired or burns out altogether. Burnout is inevitable when the bowl, on which the experience, time spent, and training costs, becomes impressive, but continues to give way to the small bowl with the inscription “I haven’t grown up yet/haven’t matured/haven’t lived yet and I have no rights to increase the cost of the service to the required figure." How to help yourself? You need to separate the service from yourself. Look at what you are selling from a different angle - the service is voluminous, the service is valuable: it includes the cost of all training, and skills, and experience, and an invaluable resource - time. If you work in an office, then add the cost of rent, utilities, tea for clients and, banally, napkins. An excursion into history: There is a story about Salvador Dali in different interpretations. It’s about how an artist left an image on a napkin, and they asked him for this drawing as a gift, then Dali set a price for it of several thousand dollars, explaining that many years and effort had been invested in the ability to depict something like this even on a napkin. I’m coming back. to the current: It is important to remember: a person always greatly values ​​what he gives his hard-earned money for, honestly earned, and will definitely take it for himself and appropriate more if he paid for it. To charge a decent price for a service means to create value for the recipient of this service. What if there is no understanding of what specific amount should be? I’m sharing a life hack from the Psychodrama method: 1. Designate areas in space that indicate different prices with improvised objects (ribbons, pillows, toys). For example, the current cost of your service and the desired or several options for the desired cost. 2. Stand with your feet in all spaces indicating prices, feel where it is unbearable and where it is comfortable. The body is smarter than the head, the body doesn’t lie. It’s easy for your body to understand where it will be most comfortable to work. Use it) Are you familiar with this internal conflict? How did you decide? Decided?
