August's Spoonful of Strategy 🥄
Brigid Reale, Lynn Norris
A Tiny Taste of Tactical Genius
Hey Busy VO Pro,
If you’ve been quietly wondering, “Should I be charging more for this?”...
The answer is probably yes.
This month’s Spoonful is all about the subtle, stress-free art of raising your rates - without second-guessing yourself into oblivion.
đź’µ Your Strategy:
You don’t have to overhaul your entire rate sheet.
Start here:
-
Step 1: Choose one service (like explainer videos or eLearning narration).
-
Step 2: Increase that rate slightly - 10–15% is a solid start.
-
Step 3: Use a confident, kind script when sending quotes or replying to clients.
🗣️ Try this:
“My rates have increased slightly to reflect the value and care I bring to each project. Let me know if you’d like me to send over an updated estimate.”
It’s respectful, clear, and gets the job done - without drama.
đź«™ Why It Works:
Small increases over time feel natural - to you and your clients.
You’re not just raising rates. You’re respecting your time, your talent, and your growth.
✨ Coming Next Month:
Before we head into the final quarter, let's stop and do a little self-reflection. Financially, that is.
