ALL MY PROGRAMS<\/a> with split-payments to be ETHICALLY PRICED.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nETHICAL PRICING for PROGRAMS<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The usual story we’re told is that if we’re going to offer split-payments for one of our coaching programs that we need to add a 15-25% cost to cover risk\/extra admin\/whatever.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I’ve been there.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The other side of the fence I mean.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That side of the fence where I couldn’t afford the $2000 up front, but I COULD<\/em> afford it over a period of months… and paying a $500 penalty for being poor!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nAnd I don’t want to be that woman – I ain’t no fuckin’ loan shark! \ud83e\udd88<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\nSo that stops right now.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\nAnyone who buys from me will NOT<\/span><\/strong> be ‘penalised’ for not having the cash ready to go and waiting. The price is the price is the price. Instead of a “pay in one $997 or 8 payments of $147”, the split-payment is going to be $997\/8!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nTo mitigate risk, it’s perfectly possible to stagger payments so that you’re still “front-loaded<\/em>” before your course begins, but you’re not taking advantage of those already struggling. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n*<\/strong>“Front-loading” payments means that the payments given to you are AHEAD of the program – e.g., you’ve received 2 weeks worth of payments, but have only delivered 1 week of the course in its most simple form.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\nAnd you can dress it up any way you like – it’s still taking advantage. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Will I have extra admin? I don’t know… we’ll see – but I will cover that WITHOUT taking financial advantage of those who can afford it LEAST<\/span><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nI can look at myself in the mirror and KNOW I’m doing right by other women by making this change – what about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\nRight, I’m off to update all my payment systems to reflect this welcome and PROGRESSIVE, FAIR change. \ud83d\udc4d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m sorry.
