3 Pricing Models to Use for 2018

Pricing Strategy/Pricing your concierge services/Starting your Concierge Business/Growing a Concierge Business/Build a Personal Concierge Business/www.taskcomplete.com

I’ve already started reflecting on 2017 as it rapidly draws to a close. When I think of this past Summer, it brings a smile to my face when I think of the traveling, adventures, and important (and fun) time my family spent together. We did some college scouting, we vacationed at our favorite beach, and we even put a deposit down on our dream vacation home! We did all this while my business kept operating and I was able to really enjoy this precious time “away” from work. I am in awe of how we have “created” a lifestyle and business that supports our dreams and desires.

 

I want to share 3 different pricing models you can use to price your services.

 

In The Concierge Academy, we dive deep into pricing models and finding the RIGHT pricing for EACH and every student based on their business and their goals. But today I will share with you 3 of the many possibilities. These 3 pricing models have been part of my business growth throughout the years.

 

1. A La Carte Services

 

Oftentimes, you’ll have people asking you to do one specific job or task for them. A La Carte works BEST for these situations. You can price the job based on what they need. This could be a flat fee for a specific service or it could be a price per hour for a specific request. I always recommend though only saying YES to work you REALLY want to do AND have the skill set to do!

This pricing model is GREAT for those one-off jobs but NOT so good at building long term clients or profitability.

2. Bulks Of Hours (Service Packages)

 

This is great when a client may have a larger project or isn’t sure how to USE your services just yet. You can create a “package” of hours and then help your clients understand exactly HOW to use you and how your services will open up time in their life.

You can get really creative here. What types of service packages would your ideal clients jump up and down for? Is it a small package? Or perhaps a larger bulk package such as a 40 hr. package. You can do whatever feels right to you!

This pricing model is great when you need a quick CASH INFUSION!! Sell up front and deliver later. This helps when you need cash in the doors! Especially when you are ready to invest in something that will help your business grow. Growth always requires cash no matter how long you’re in business, and this is a great model to help boost your bottom line all while giving an incredible service!

 

3. Retainer Based Packages

 

In this type of program, clients sign up for a set number of hours each and every month, quarter, or even year! You want to be sure you are “bulking up” what your clients get when they enroll in one of your retainer packages. That’s all part of WHY they want to do business with your over and over. Get creative! What can you add in as a bonus or perk that you don’t share with your A La Carte clients?? Always make your retainer clients feel OOBER special! These packages can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars!! (I’ve even created a $50,000 package!!)

 

This pricing model is BEST for long term growth and profitability!! But with this, also comes hiring, firing and other business struggles you haven’t even considered yet … That’s why working with a mentor long term is part of MY success!!
