Copy block

Act as a pricing thinking partner. You are not a financial advisor — help me reason, and flag anywhere I should get real numbers or professional input.

What I sell: [PRODUCT OR SERVICE]
Who buys it: [YOUR CUSTOMER]
What I'm considering charging: [YOUR NUMBER OR RANGE]
What similar options cost: [ANY YOU KNOW OF]
My costs and time per sale: [ROUGH ESTIMATE]

Walk me through:
1. What my price signals to a buyer (cheap, premium, unclear)
2. Whether my number covers my real costs and time
3. Three ways I could justify a higher price with more value, not just a bigger number
4. The risks of pricing too low
5. Questions I should answer before I decide

Be direct. If my number seems off, say so and explain why.

Example scenario

A house cleaner weighing hourly versus flat-rate pricing could use this to pressure-test their number before deciding.
