All of this is so true! I quickly found out to take befores and afters at each session, not just of the project overall.

Absolutely, that's an excellent point. It's good practice to get in the habit too. I usually get so into the work that I completely forget to document 🤣

Can you do a video explaining your pricing more and how you chose it? I’m absolutely stuck on how to charge. I’m hearing both hourly and flat room rate (which is hard not knowing how simple or complex it will be). Help?!

@ispeakorganized 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Chelsea! It's a complex topic for sure but I talk a bit about it in this video here 👇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLx0at2ju9O6Y2Q.html It may not answer all your questions but it will give you a start. I also have a great freebie link in that video to work on your price list 😀 I'd suggest starting hourly until you're more confident with your process. Packages and all-inclusive pricing can always come later. If you want to create a REALLY solid strategy, book a coaching session with me and we can go over demographics, pricing models, business goals, package strategy, and price elasticity based on where you live and client needs. It's kind of an involved process but worth it if you're ready to create a excellent plan 💪 www.ispeakorganized.com/become-a-professional-organizer Happy to help when you're ready!

Hi Jen! The client pays for it in my case. Either as part of a package deposit or as needed. There is a bit of a process and nuance to it :-)

I'm looking at starting my own business. I'm in South Africa. I'm doing a trial run at my sister's place on time management. How do I just get started from advertising to getting clients

@ispeakorganized Жыл бұрын

Hi Shaun! Congrats on taking the next steps. Your question requires a kind of involved answer that can't be fully answered in a comment. Apologies. However, think on this as you continue to do your research 👇 It depends on what specific organizing services you want to provide, who your target client is, knowing exactly what your target client's problems are, and how to fix them. If you market blindly to the public without speaking to your target audience's reasons for hiring you, then you're in danger of wasting a lot of money on marketing. When you're ready, you can schedule a call to start fleshing out a marketing plan! Have an awesome week.

Do you charge a flat fee for misc services like : consignments/ resell , shopping fee, product fee, travel fee& donations ... or are these fees included in your overall rates ? What's a good base to charge for these fees.... most sites are discussing these hidden cost

@ispeakorganized Жыл бұрын

Hi Kimberly! I talk a bit about this in the two videos below- you may find them helpful in deciding whether you charge separate fees or choose to build all-inclusive package pricing 👇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9OFg8WJua6znGg.html - Pricing Tips kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7p8gbqfvdy2d4E.html - Work for Free? Base rates for these depend on where you live, how far you're traveling, cost of gas etc. You'll need to figure out those costs for yourself to make sure your base rate can cover those expenses. Hope that helps!
