Podcast #14: Pricing and Fear of Charging What You Deserve with Tom Buford
This week we’re talking about pricing your product or service with my awesome guest Tom Buford or Tom Buford Marketing. Specifically, about the FEAR of pricing. And the voices in our heads that say…
- Who would pay that for what I do?
- If I price it like that even I couldn’t afford my own product
- I’ll start with this low price and raise my price later after I get a following
- What if nobody buys? I better price it low just in case
All of these pricing fears are real – and they can be devastating to your business and your bottom line.

Hi Jena! Thanks so much for letting me know! It means a lot to me that this is helpful to you.
Dear Jane, I just listened to this podcast and it was a real eye opener…it answered a lot of my “self-torturing” questions. Thanks a lot to both of you for this information!
Jane and Tom~ Awesome sauce! I loved this podcast and I must admit I have been between overcharging and undercharging. Nowadays, I lean more towards healthy profits and believe the customer finds me. I have also learned how to spot my customers and the market places that are the best for my audience. The one important piece for me as been CONSISTENT marketing…which I no longer need to demystify. I get it and it’s very important and will be doing a press release and setting the stage as an expert which will get me the exposure to those ideal clients. I’ve made the switch in my brain this year, that I am not for everyone but I am for my niche group and they will gladly pay for the quality and the fine craftsmanship! You guys ROCK!
