Global Membership Organization of Professional Resume Writers & Career Coaches
How long have you been thinking about raising your prices? How long has that been calling to you and terrifying you?
Or, did you try to raise them before and didn't find it successful, quickly returning to the lower 'safer' pricing although you feel you deserve more for your time and effort?
Regardless of where you are in the pricing and closing paradigm, NOW, you can get past the ‘should’ and the uncertainty, and get easily into the how – the mechanics, the strategy, and the closing – with CDI's proven program: The Sordid Topic of Coin: Pricing It, Getting It, Nailing It.
Whether your goal is to make enough money to take your business part-time, to quit your full-time job and make this ‘dream’ a reality, or increase your financial security, you CAN do it…and easily, with the tools provided by the super-team of Laura DeCarlo and Pat Schuler.
As one of your instructors, I can tell you I’ve been there. Over 20 years ago when I was getting started as a resume writer and career services provider, I was terrified when the phone would ring. That meant there was someone on the other end of the line who wanted to know, “What does it cost?” How was I going to tell them the price and convince them it was worth it before they got sticker shock?? I needed a process badly.
I struggled for a few years and then landed on a six-figure secret due to an amazing mentor. Thanks to an easy process I avoided what could have been decades of financial struggle and emotional frustration to begin earning 6-figures with ease.
Further, I’ve spent the last decade mentoring, coaching, and studying some of the industry’s happiest and most successful career professionals. I’ve captured the secrets to monetary success including the strategies for getting your prices in line, getting past your own inner critic, and for getting on board with simple just successful pricing and selling processes.
As your other instructor, it might be easy to think I have always earned $400-600 an hour for sales coaching of career professionals. But that’s not the case. In the beginning, as a shiny new coach I can remember the first time a real client, who was not just a friend helping me get started, paid me $50 per hour for my service. When my coach suggested I raise my fees by $10 an hour, I turned green and pretty much stopped breathing. I felt like I’d never get another client at that rate!
Fast forward 15 years - $400-600 per hour, and clients consistently say it’s a bargain for their ROI. My clients increase their revenue an average of 37% from working with me. I’m not going to tell you about the people who double and triple their revenue, although there are many in this industry whom you would definitely recognize – it sounds too much like infomercial territory.
And, no, it won’t take you 15 years! When you begin employing the strategies from this class, you can see results immediately.
What changed? How do my clients do it? You’ll leave this session with the answers, process and strategy.
If you average three clients a week at $400 each and double your rate, this means in the next 12 months you would see your gross revenue jump from $60,000 to $120,000 before even considering what closing more prospects will add.
Doubling your rate too aggressive or intimidating? We’ll be sharing a variety of strategies that let you pick the perfect, comfortable fit for you. Should you only increase your rates by a modest $50 per client each quarter, you will still earn over $20,000 more in the next year.

Pat and Laura provide real, applicable strategies you can put to use immediately.
