Step 1: Discovery Questions
Ask the client:
-
Pain: What manual task takes most time?
-
Cost: How many hours/week? What's the hourly cost?
-
Impact: What happens when it's not done?
-
Timeline: When do you need this solved?
-
Budget: What would you pay to make this go away?
Step 2: Calculate Value
Hours saved/month: [X] Fully-loaded cost/hour: $[Y] (salary + overhead) Monthly value created: X × Y = $[Z] Annual value: Z × 12 = $[A]
Your price target: 10-25% of annual value
Step 3: Select Pricing Model

Usage-Based Pricing
Base: $99/mo (includes 500 tasks) Tasks: $0.02 each over 500 API calls: $0.001 each AI tokens: Pass-through + 20%
Example:
- 2,000 tasks = $99 + (1,500 × $0.02) = $129/mo
Value-Based Pricing
Discovery: 2-hour paid session ($500) → Identifies automation opportunity → Documents current costs
Proposal:
- Setup fee: 1 month of savings
- Monthly: 15-20% of ongoing savings
- Minimum: $500/mo
Example: Client saves 40 hrs/mo at $50/hr = $2,000/mo value
- Setup: $2,000
- Monthly: $400/mo (20%)
- Annual: $6,800 (you) vs $24,000 (value) = 3.5x ROI for client

Pricing Psychology
Anchor High
Show the expensive option first. Makes mid-tier feel reasonable.
Show Value, Not Cost
"This automation saves you $4,000/mo" not "This costs $500/mo"
Use Odd Numbers
$297 feels researched. $300 feels rounded/arbitrary.
Bundle Everything
"Includes setup, training, and 30-day support" > listing each
Create Urgency
"Price valid for 7 days" or "Next 3 clients get..."
Offer Annual
20% discount for annual = better cash flow, lower churn
Common Objections
Objection Response
"Too expensive" "Let's look at what it costs you NOT to do this..."
"Need to think" "Of course. What specifically would you need to know?"
"Can't decide alone" "Let's set up a call with [stakeholder] together"
"Build in-house" "That's months + $X in salary. We're live in 2 weeks"
"Cheaper competitor" "What's missing from their solution?"
