When was the last time a potential client asked about your rates, and you felt an immediate pang of anxiety? That moment when your stomach drops, your confidence wavers, and you start wondering if maybe—just maybe—you should lower your quote "just to be safe."

I've been there. We've all been there! And in that split second before you respond, your brain races through a dozen different scenarios:

• "If I quote my actual rates, will they run for the hills?"
• "Should I lowball now and raise my rates later?"
• "What if they say my competitors charge half what I do?"
• "Do I even deserve to charge this much?"

The problem isn't your rates. The problem is how you talk about your rates.

The Confident Editor's Pricing Playbook gives you word-for-word scripts that transform those anxiety-inducing pricing conversations into opportunities to book clients at the rates you truly deserve.

This comprehensive playbook provides ready-to-use scripts for:

• Shifting the conversation from hourly rates to project-based
• Positioning your services as an investment
• Responding confidently to "That's more than I budgeted for" without devaluing your work
• Handling those awkward "Can I have a discount?" requests
• Setting clear boundaries when the project’s scope creeps
• Raising your rates with existing clients without losing them
• Walking away from low-ballers who don't respect your expertise

Each script comes in two flavors—"The Professional" for a polished, business-like approach, and "The Professional with Pizzazz" for adding some personality while maintaining your authority.

Let's transform how you talk about your rates, one script at a time. Your days of pricing panic are over!
