Hi Pam,
I’ll throw my hat in the ring as well. I just taught a class on pricing for Molly Gordon, in fact. I specialize in pricing for those in service based businesses– especially those who are in the “helping professions”. I’m a money coach who works with women, by the way. I’ve written two workbooks just on pricing– one on the nuts and bolts and one on all the emotional aspects. It is SUCH an emotional topic! (I packaged all my pricing products up at http://www.ratesettingtoolkit.com) Anyways, let me know if I can help. It’s a great topic and I love learning from everyone else as well!

Uh, I think I'm very late on this one. I second Molly Gordon. She's got awesome thoughts on pricing on authenticpromotion.com. .-= Naomi Niles´s last blog ..IttyBiz Site Redesign =-.

I second or third the nomination of Mark Silver. A very important part of his pricing practice is the way it makes you feel. His process makes it literally impossible to present a price that you're uncomfortable with, impossible for it to feel wrong. .-= Mark W Schumann´s last blog ..Project Planning: “Can we kill ‘em tomorrow?” =-.

John Jantsch, Mark Silver. That's my vote and I'm sticking with it. .-= Zane Safrit´s last blog ..GM's Unusual Word-of-Mouth Campaign =-.

Hi Pam, this sounds like a great series. I’d like to suggest Ed Gandia from The Wealthy Freelancer who has some useful advice on pricing – http://www.thewealthyfreelancer.com.

Also, Michael Port, author of Book Yourself Solid, could have useful ideas for your readers – http://www.bookyourselfsolid.com.

Look forward to reading the posts.

Pam,

I agree with glenyse, as Naomi Dunford from IttyBiz would be kinda awesome. Jonathan Fields would also be cool, because I heard (from Naomi actually) that you two in the same room is apparently lots of fun!

I’d also like to humbly nominate myself, because even when you’re dealing with a touchy feely profession like counseling, you still have to handle the business end of it. I’ve been self-employed for 10 months now, and price is a big part of whether or not people get the help they need, especially in this economy.

Either way, I look forward to the upcoming interviews you do.

I have started doiong social media/internet marketing management and consulting and we are having a hard time figuring out what to charge for a monthly maintenance plan and a one-time consultation fee.

I was going to suggest Dale Furtwengler, but I see he’s gotten in touch!

His blog has several entries on pricing: http://furtwengler.com/theinvaluableleader/
