From Underselling to Unstoppable

Why High-Value Clients Are the Key to Growing Your Coaching Business

As a business coach or consultant, your expertise is your product, and your clients are the lifeblood of your business. But are you attracting the right clients—the ones who truly value your insights, respect your time, and are willing to pay for the premium service you offer?

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from working closely with Phil Pelucha, the founder of Billionaires in Boxers and a dear friend, is that scaling your coaching or consulting business isn’t just about getting more clients—it’s about getting the right clients. And often, this requires a shift in how you price and position your services.

The Trap of Underselling

It’s easy to fall into the trap of underselling your services, especially when you’re eager to grow your business. You lower your prices to attract more clients, thinking that volume will lead to growth. But what happens instead? You end up with a roster of clients who drain your energy, question your every move, and often fail to see the true value of your expertise.

Phil once shared a story with me about a consultant who was stuck in this very situation. This consultant was underpricing their services to stay competitive, believing that more clients meant more revenue. But what they found was that these low-paying clients were more demanding, less appreciative, and often late with payments. The consultant was working harder than ever but wasn’t seeing the growth or satisfaction they were hoping for.

The Power of Premium Pricing

After some coaching from Phil, this consultant made a bold move: they raised their prices and started targeting higher-value clients—those who had more established businesses and were looking for expert guidance to overcome specific challenges. The difference was night and day.

These new clients were easier to work with, respected the consultant’s expertise, and were more likely to act on the advice they received. They also paid on time, every time, and were quick to refer others in their network. This wasn’t just a financial win; it was a transformation in the way the consultant worked and how they felt about their business.

Why This Matters for Your Coaching or Consulting Business

As a coach or consultant, your time and expertise are your most valuable assets. By positioning yourself as a premium service provider, you attract clients who are serious about growth and who understand the value of what you offer. These clients don’t just pay more—they’re more engaged, more respectful, and more likely to see the results they’re paying for, which in turn leads to more referrals and more growth for your business.

Action Steps to Implement Premium Pricing in Your Coaching or Consulting Business

1. Assess Your Current Client Base: Take a hard look at your current clients. Are they paying what you’re worth? Are they the type of clients you want to build your business around? If not, it might be time for a change.
2. Refine Your Value Proposition: Clearly define what sets you apart from other coaches or consultants. What unique value do you bring to your clients? Make sure this is reflected in how you present yourself to the market.
3. Adjust Your Pricing Strategy: Consider raising your prices to reflect the value you provide. Start by testing a higher price point with new clients and see how they respond.
4. Target the Right Clients: Shift your focus to clients who are already successful but are looking for expert guidance to overcome specific challenges. These clients are more likely to appreciate and pay for premium services.
5. Communicate Your Value: Ensure that your marketing materials, website, and client communications clearly articulate the value of your services. Educate potential clients on why your expertise is worth the investment.
6. Leverage Success Stories: Share case studies and testimonials from clients who have seen significant results from working with you. This builds trust and reinforces the value of your services.

By adopting a premium pricing strategy and focusing on attracting the right clients, you’re setting the stage for sustainable growth in your coaching or consulting business. Not only will this lead to higher revenue, but it will also make your work more enjoyable and fulfilling.
