5 Reliable Methods to Raise Your Coaching Fees

Offering coaching programs over the World Wide Web is one of the most lucrative ways to make money online but only if you know the right tag prices for your offerings. If you're charging $100-$300 and if you're giving out in-depth information, I have to tell you that you're charging too less and it's time to increase your prices.

Here's how you can do that:

1. How much? First thing to do is to decide as to how much more you're going to charge for your coaching programs. When doing this, ensure that you take into consideration the buying power of your potential clients and the real value of your offerings. If your programs are considered the best in your chosen niche and if they're very in-demand, you can consider increasing your prices from 5%-20% without the fear that you might lose your customer base in the end.

2. Conduct a survey. Even if you're confident that your customer base will not leave you even if you increase your prices, I suggest that you stay on the safe side and get their pulse still. Conduct surveys by sending them questionnaires through your autoresponders or call at least 5-%-10% of your clients. Doing these will give you an idea as to how these people will take this change.

3. Offer more. Give your customers a valid reason to do business with you after the price increase. Make your coaching programs more explosive or bundle them with high quality products that can also be useful to the lives of your prospects. For example, if you're currently offering email coaching programs, you can throw in one-on-one one-hour monthly meetings where your clients can personally ask their questions and where you can help them measure their development.

4. Explain your reasons. You cannot expect your customers to just accept your decision without any explanation. Make these people feel that you value their business by explaining the reasons why you are increasing your coaching fees. It's best if you can tell them the benefits that they'll get from this. For example, you can tell them that for additional $100, they will get better customer service and more powerful tools that can help in quickly realizing their goals or in solving their current issues.

5. Announce the increase. Give your customers at least one month notice before you make this change effective. This will allow these people to decide if they will still buy your coaching programs even if they have higher tag prices.
