Imagine What’s Possible for You…
I've been in business for just one year. However, I knew the challenges
and pitfalls of pricing and needed guidance. I needed someone to hold me
accountable as I transitioned to value pricing. With new clients, I now
price myself based on the value I plan to deliver. And have the confidence
to discuss out-of-scope projects and the costs. I easily recovered the
financial investment made to work with Loren.
My business coach extraordinaire is Loren Fogelman, owner of Business
Success Solution. Working with Loren has totally changed the trajectory of
my business as far as how I price and manage my clients. I've learned to
set better boundaries, eliminate PITA clients and price my projects at a
significantly higher margin. I've been working with Loren for just over a
year and a Half. My income from this year to date over the same period
last year is up over 70%.
Thank you for your help prior to meeting with my client today. The
conversation about raising his fees went better than I expected and really
helped my confidence. He agreed to the Diamond package and had a positive
vibe the entire meeting. He reminded me that we have been together since
2014 so "He's not going anywhere." (His words). I would not have had the
courage to raise my rates to this degree on my own. I am starting to feel
more confident moving forward. I am so glad I found Business Success
Solution. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
From 72 hour weeks to 32 hour weeks during tax season. Last tax season I
worked 12 hour days / 7 days per week. This tax season, I'm working 6-8
hour days / 4 days per week. Friday's, I go out and play golf.
I have been steadily working with Loren. After last tax season, my
business had stalled. I was putting in long hours without any additional
profit. Loren changed all that for me. I remember that I felt like I only
had enough money to pay off some debt or put a down payment on my office
building; I am happy to say that I doubled my net income and was able to
do both, and now I am getting ready to start a remodel. Currently, my
business is unrecognizable to what it was before Loren's coaching. My team
has grown, I only work with ideal clients and now I'm a recognized expert
in my specialty.
I was caught up in the day to day of running my business and knew I was
leaving money on the table. From this program, I realized how much my
clients valued our services. I bought my first home, my car will be paid
off and within the next month I’ll be out of credit card debt. This
program has far exceeded my expectations on the return on investment.
I invested in the program because of Loren's results-oriented approach. It
helped me stop planning and start doing, and enrolling new clients. As a
result, I changed my beliefs about money and the value of what I have to
offer. I now realize that I can generate abundance by doing what I really
enjoy. Loren really moves you forward. I was able to immediately apply
what I learned with her and double my income.
It was time to pick up some new tools to help my business grow and shake
things up a bit. From the work we did together, I set higher goals,
learned the important difference between compassion and boundaries, and
became comfortable in my skin as a strong leader and powerful woman. As a
result, I really took Polymath to the next level. Because we defined our
niche and shifted to value based pricing, we're stronger than ever.
I couldn't take on more work in my bookkeeping business, yet I wasn't
maximizing my earning potential. It was time to properly charge my clients
for my work and expertise. During our first private session, Loren helped
me analyze and quote a project. Because of her ability to extract the
right information and her encouragement to properly price the project, I
quoted an amount five times more than what I had originally planned. And,
I was awarded the project. All this from the first session.
The first three years in business I found myself working too many hours
and struggling financially. The hours I worked weren't reflected in my
bank balance. I wasted a lot of energy being scared about increasing my
fees. I thought I'd lose clients or they'd feel I was greedy. Once I
followed the Formula, it worked beautifully. I raised my fees and didn't
lose any clients. I now choose who works with me, have cut back to 3 days
per week and watched my revenues increase.
When I first met Loren, my office was in my home. I didn't take my work as
seriously as I should - seeing it more as a hobby than a true profession.
Procrastination sidetracked me. Loren's support contributed to significant
business growth, taking action instead of making excuses. As a result, I
now have a business partner and moved into an executive office suite. I
cannot even believe that all this has happened. Loren and the mastermind
group helped me stay focused on what I needed to grow a thriving,
successful firm.
My rates no longer reflected my value. So, legacy clients continued to pay
their original rates. And, I worried about sending clients too high of an
invoice. I wanted to raise my rates, but chickened out because I didn’t
know how to do that. Loren helped me put together packages. I quintupled
my rates and my clients went for it. Plus, I got an upfront fee which I
have in the bank right now. It’s only been two months since following the
Raise Your Rates Formula and I’ve already increased annual revenue by
$40,000.
My clients now pay me thousands of dollars for expertise and work product
I was giving away for free before. I have increased my rates nearly
five-fold; I have eliminated my least profitable and high-maintenance
clients so I can focus on those who truly value my services; and I’m now
making more money working fewer hours. And of course, that means I get to
spend more time with my family.
