What do you do when the brand says you're too expensive but you know you're the right person for the gig?
That's exactly what one of my FAST Track Turbo students, Allison Pickthorn experienced! We worked out her pricing strategy and with some savvy negotiation, she landed a $15,000 project! We break down all the strategies and mindset shifts that eventually got her the project, her experience with client negotiations, and the surprising twist involving an Indian manufacturer and a retailer right in her own backyard.
Allison also shares her thoughts on why it's crucial to stand firm on your worth and how to put together portfolio teasers that can tip the scales in your favor. Whether you're curious about freelance pricing, dealing with international clients, or just love a good success story, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the small yet significant steps that make a big difference in landing high-ticket projects.
