Strategies for Charging What You're Worth
Sunday August 3, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MDT
Do you have trouble charging clients for your time?  Do you often find yourself "forgiving" or "writing off" a portion of the time you spend on client projects? Do you ever feel you're losing prospects because of "high" fees or that you're spending more time than you care to trying to justify your fees to your clients?  Do you have trouble articulating the value you bring to bear in your work as a financial planner?  If you answered "yes" to any of these questions or you'd simply like to spend less energy spinning your wheels or efforts on the wrong things or in the wrong direction, you may find this session helpful.  Lisa will share some of the strategies she's employed, drawing both on her 14 years' experience in marketing, as well as from her 11 years' experience running her own hourly financial planning practice.
