Ethical, Value‑Based Pricing

Clarity, confidence, and pricing that reflects the world we actually live in.

When your pricing is stuck in the past, everything feels harder

Many professionals price their services the way their former bosses did - because that’s what they were taught, or because “that’s just how it’s done.”

But the truth is:

  • 40‑year‑old pricing models don’t work in a modern world

  • the cost of running a business has changed dramatically

  • clients’ expectations have changed

  • technology has added layers of cost that didn’t exist before

  • staff no longer stay in jobs for life

  • salaries must be competitive or people leave

  • subscriptions, apps, memberships, panels, software, and compliance costs all add up

And yet… many people are still charging fees that belong to another era.

It’s no wonder pricing feels uncomfortable, confusing, or even guilt‑inducing.

The real pain point: you’re trying to price ethically… but with outdated tools

Most professionals want to be fair. They want to price ethically. They want clients to feel respected and valued.

But ethical pricing doesn’t mean:

  • undercharging

  • absorbing rising costs

  • matching what your old boss charged in 1998

  • keeping fees low to “be nice”

  • pretending the world hasn’t changed

Ethical pricing means being honest about the value you bring, the experience you’ve gained, and the real cost of delivering your service today.

What does ethical pricing actually mean?

Ethical pricing is:

  • transparent: clients understand what they’re paying for

  • fair: to the client and to you

  • sustainable: your business can survive and grow

  • aligned: with your values, your expertise, and your boundaries

  • modern: reflecting the true cost of running a business in 2026

Ethical pricing is not about squeezing clients. It’s about creating a fair exchange where both sides feel respected.

What is value‑based pricing?

Value‑based pricing means setting your fees based on:

  • the outcome you help create

  • the expertise you’ve built over years

  • the transformation you deliver

  • the risk you remove

  • the clarity, reassurance, and guidance you provide

It’s not about charging for hours. It’s about charging for impact.

Clients don’t buy time - they buy certainty, clarity, and solutions.

Why fixed fees matter

Fixed fees:

  • reduce anxiety for clients

  • build trust

  • create clarity

  • remove the fear of “the clock running”

  • allow you to price based on value, not minutes

  • give you space to do your best work

Fixed fees are ethical, transparent, and modern - and they help clients feel safe.

The Ethical & Value‑Based Pricing Workshop

In this workshop, we explore:

1. Your current pricing story

Where your pricing came from - and whether it still serves you.

2. The real cost of delivering your service today

Technology, subscriptions, staff, compliance, time, energy, expertise.


3. Ethical pricing principles

What fairness really looks like in a modern business.

4. Value‑based pricing

How to price based on outcomes, not hours.

5. Fixed fees

How to structure them, communicate them, and feel confident offering them

6. Your new pricing model

Clear, ethical, sustainable - and aligned with your values.

The transformation

After this workshop, you’ll walk away with:

  • pricing that reflects your experience

  • confidence in your fees

  • a structure you can explain clearly

  • a model that supports your business

  • a sense of fairness - to you and your clients

  • a modern, ethical approach that feels good

Pricing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. It shouldn’t feel like guilt. It shouldn’t feel like you’re stuck in someone else’s system.

It should feel clear, fair, and aligned.
