Then give them a compelling reason to. One of the best ways to do that is to show them how their investment will provide them with a significant return. Demonstrating value and ROI in your proposal is critical. A few years ago, I was working with a consultant in our Clarity Coaching Program. She was going to submit a proposal to a client for $60k and felt confident she’d win the business. She asked for my feedback. After reviewing her situation I uncovered that she was creating significantly more value than she thought. She could raise her fee from $60k to $200k and still give her client an extraordinary return. So, she upped her price for this proposal without changing any of the deliverables... ...and won the engagement at this much higher fee. The lesson? The ROI you provide should be so great that your buyer has no qualms over your fee. So get clear on that ROI and make it evident in your consulting proposals.
