Positioning and pricing that actually work
Your positioning statement is the answer to "what do you do?" Most people get it wrong. "I help businesses leverage AI to optimize their operations" means nothing. A strong positioning statement names who you help, what problem you solve, and what measurable result they get.
In the full lesson, we walk you through writing yours, show you the formula for pricing based on client value (not your time), and cover the three pricing mistakes that leave money on the table for every new agency.
What you will learn in this lesson
This lesson covers the complete pricing strategy for an AI agency: how to benchmark against what the client currently spends, how to set flat fees that make both sides happy, and why hourly pricing punishes you for being good at your job.
You will also learn how to structure a simple two-tier offer that gives prospects a clear entry point and a natural upgrade path. No complex pricing menus. No guessing. Just a framework you can use on your very next proposal.
