Donna, the owner of a home décor business, faced a setback when she lost a sale due to her discomfort in presenting her fees. Although she thoroughly engaged with the prospect by understanding their needs, answering questions, handling objections, and discussing pricing, her nervousness about fees cost her the deal.
In the silence that followed her proposal, Donna became anxious about whether her fees were seen as too high. In her uncertainty, she proposed cheaper alternatives immediately, undermining the value she initially presented and creating extra work for herself. Her lack of confidence in her pricing led to a missed opportunity.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Many hesitate to confirm whether their fees align with client expectations. To prevent this, you need to ask the right questions, understand your product's value, and confidently present your pricing. Here are six straightforward, yet impactful steps to help you gain confidence in discussing fees:
1. Ask Money-Qualifying Questions Early
Initiate money-related questions either before or early in your meeting. Serious prospects expect these questions and respond positively, while unqualified ones may shy away. Example: "To ensure we're on the same page, what's your budget estimate for this project?"
2. Identify Product Benefits
List the benefits your product provides. This clarity helps you articulate the value to your clients effectively. During discussions, highlight these benefits. Example: "Adding window treatments can significantly enhance your home's value."
3. Highlight Your Personal Benefits
Beyond the product, your personal touch is crucial. Many sales are built on strong client relationships. Share how working with you benefits clients. Example: "I offer personalized service from start to finish for every project."
4. Share Client Success Stories
Discuss measurable results your clients have achieved by working with you. This reinforces the value you bring and boosts your confidence. Example: "After collaborating with me, a client found the perfect window treatment within her budget."
5. Communicate Product Value
Practice articulating your product’s value with confidence and clarity. When you are clear about the value, the fear surrounding fees diminishes. Hear yourself speaking from the heart, and the fear of presenting fees will fade.
6. Offer Diverse Pricing Packages
Create multiple pricing options to give clients choices, making selections more affordable. Offering low, medium, and high-end packages increases the likelihood of a sale.
Assignment
- List Creation: Write down four money-qualifying questions, four product benefits, four benefits of working with you, and four successful client outcomes.
- Review & Internalize: Familiarize yourself with these lists to speak confidently in client meetings.
- Role Play: Practice the first five steps with a partner to gain comfort in presenting fees.
- Package Development: Design three unique packages (basic, super, deluxe) to cater to different client budgets.
These strategies will empower you to overcome the fee barrier and close sales with confidence.
