Highlights: — “In the world of niching, there is no manual. You get to create and make your own manual.” — “People are coming to me way sooner in their business journey than I would expect. And they're so aware that they're in need of help and that the help I provide is so valuable to them that they're willing to pay for what I might have inadvertently given away for free.” — “My strategy sessions turn into discovery calls. They almost are like a jumping-off point for a future relationship.” — “Once you've built that know, like, and trust factor, if you're the person clients want to work with, then they're going to ask what your price is, not go find the cheaper option.” ***Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?*** Subscribe here: https://www.shethinksbigcoaching.com/subscribe-main-list Connect with ERICA: Website: https://www.ericagoode.com/ Episode mentions: 082 [Coaching] Logic vs Intuition: How to Choose Fulfilling Work, with Erica Goode https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/082 116 From Hourly Billing to Flat Rate for Cares Act Documentation https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/116 Get your FREE 7 Pricing Essentials for CPAs and EAs here:https://geraldinecarter.com/7
