Budgeting and Pricing Strategies for Success, Part 1 of 2
Tuesday, October 24th – 12:00-1:30pm
Presented by Jessi Burg, Founder, Outgrow Your Garage
Workshop Description:
Join Outgrow Your Garage as we talk about financial empowerment in a two-part presentation!
In Part 1, we’ll equip you with techniques to strategically price your services, enabling you to charge confidently and communicate the value to your clients effectively. You will leave with new knowledge on how to establish consistent pricing to create a strong foundation for your business success!
Attending both sessions will provide you with the most comprehensive understanding of your budgeting and pricing. However, if you can only make Part 1, you’ll gain valuable insights into expense understanding and pricing foundations. If you can only attend Part 2, we recommend coming prepared with your financial documents from the last year, and a clear understanding of how you set prices in your business.

A key part of this workshop will focus on how to “play” with your numbers to see how changes in one area of your business will affect your long term goals.
