Publish A Minimum Fee

  • Put a clear minimum fee on your website to filter out prospects who cannot afford your services.
  • Use a minimum that is lower than your typical fee so you don't scare away ideal clients.
ADVICE

Show The Experience, Don’t Just Claim It

  • Show, don't just tell: give prospects a remarkable sample of the planning experience so they can recognize the value.
  • Create shareable stories or content that let clients spread what the experience feels like.
ADVICE

Pair Persona With A Minimum
