Pricing Mistakes: Strategies for Maximizing Revenue

Align Your Pricing with What Your Audience Is Actually Ready to Invest In
One of the biggest mindset shifts we’ve made is realizing that effective pricing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about alignment. If we’re speaking to an audience of solopreneurs or early-stage business owners, pitching a premium offer with a high price point might leave them feeling excluded. Instead, we’ve started crafting offers that meet our audience where they are financially, while still honoring the value of our work. That might look like a tiered offer suite, smaller group containers, or entry points that build trust over time.
When Urgency Actually Helps
We’re not afraid to say it: urgency works. But only when it’s built on real value and honest intent. Fast-action bonuses and thoughtful perks for early buyers can create positive momentum and drive conversions without making anyone feel rushed or manipulated. One of our favorite launch memories was working with a client who gave bonus Voxer access to the first 10 people who joined. The result? An energetic, heart-aligned start to the launch that converted better and felt better for everyone involved.
How to Create Urgency Without Fake Deadlines
People are over fake countdown timers and we are too. So instead of relying on manufactured scarcity, we now create urgency by offering time-sensitive experiences that are rooted in connection and support. That might mean a live onboarding experience, early access to coaching, or a bonus training that disappears after a certain date. When urgency is based on real value, not fear, it builds trust and encourages action in a way that aligns with the kind of businesses we want to run.
At the end of the day, pricing isn’t just about what a client pays—it’s about the relationship we’re building. When we align our prices with our audience’s readiness, offer genuine urgency, and stay rooted in integrity, we see better results across the board. Not just in conversions, but in how we feel running our launches and delivering our work. So the next time you’re pricing a new offer, ask yourself: Does this feel good to me? Does it feel good for them? That’s the kind of pricing strategy that leads to sustainable, values-driven growth.
