"I was about to send a $3,000 proposal. After my coaching session, I sent a $7,500 proposal instead—and they said yes. The ROI was immediate."

Common Questions

Do I need to take 'The Art of Fair Exchange' first?

No, but it helps. The course gives you the framework; coaching helps you apply it. Many people do both.

What if my proposal is for a different industry than yours?

The principles of fair exchange are universal. I've helped ceramicists, developers, coaches, carpenters, and consultants. The psychology of pricing works across industries.

Can I record the call?

Absolutely. I encourage it. You'll want to revisit our conversation when preparing future proposals.

What if I don't have a proposal ready?

We can work with a past proposal you lost, or I can help you structure one from scratch. Either way, you'll leave with something actionable.
