Pricing your services for profit can be a challenge for most business owners. And in some industries like bookkeeping, accounting and legal, it’s been tradition to price by the hour. But this week, my special guest will challenge you to think differently about your pricing, especially if you’re a lawyer!

Special guest from the United Kingdom, non-practising lawyer Shaun Jardine and author of Ditch the Billable Hours and I have a lively discussion on pricing and how value-based pricing can be beneficial not just to law firms but others who traditionally price by the hour.

We also talk about:

• How lawyers and other experts are no longer the gatekeepers of knowledge and why pricing can no longer be based on knowledge.
• The principle of ‘our ice is melting’.
• Value-based pricing as a brand differentiator.
• Who has ownership of pricing in your business?
• Giving your clients a choice of service level.
• When you go through the process of changing your pricing structure, it’s best to have two pairs of eyes on your new structure.
