SwissCast Shows: Where Swiss Life Meets English Voices ·

2026/05/05

They also shape who shows up, how seriously clients take the work and how your pricing lands later. The bigger question: is using free sessions the best way to attract the right clients – or is it just you in your comfort zone?Mentioned in this episode:The Pricing Lady is a proud member of the SwissCast NetworkDiscover more great podcasts for

During a recent keynote with coaches, someone wrote in the chat: "There are so many coaches now, I don't think we can charge what we used to."It's a question a lot of coaches are asking themselves. But lowering your prices isn't a neutral move.
