Episode 179: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Many online business owners struggle with pricing their services and offers, either pricing too low to compete on volume or jumping to premium prices without the foundation to support them. This pricing confusion leads to unsustainable businesses that can't afford to grow, acquire customers, or hire team members.

In this episode, Marcel Petitpas teaches us how to price strategically using his objective approach to profitability. He breaks down the critical concept of direct delivery margin, explains how to calculate your true costs including future hiring needs, and shares his value-versus-risk quadrant for choosing the right pricing model.

Marcel also reveals when it's time to raise prices and how to replace low-margin clients with higher-paying ones to scale profitably.
