What Your Expertise Is Actually Worth: A Pricing Session for Senior Women Going Independent
Advertisement
Bring a salary. Leave with a day rate, a project fee, and a retainer, written down.
Most people calculate their rate the wrong way. They take a salary, divide by 2,080 hours, and end up pricing their expertise at less than half of what it costs to replace their paycheck.
This two-hour workshop fixes that with real arithmetic. You’ll build your replacement number, the true cost of leaving a W-2 role once benefits, taxes, and business costs are counted. Then you’ll turn it into the three prices every independent path asks for: a day rate, a fee for a real project, and a monthly retainer.
We’ll cover the three pricing mistakes senior people make the moment they go independent, and you’ll practice saying your numbers out loud with people who will push back kindly.
It’s built for director-level women and above who are planning a move into a consulting practice or a board seat, fractional or portfolio work, or a business they start or buy.
