In this episode of Monday Meeting, host Lee Smalt leads an open discussion about pitching creative ideas, with valuable insights on pricing strategies and client relationships that help motion designers win projects.
This episode includes:
- Practical strategies for setting price ranges rather than fixed rates, and how to effectively anchor pricing to shape client expectations
- The psychology of tiered pricing options and why clients typically gravitate toward middle packages
- Creative approaches to preventing scope creep with overage costs and deadline push fees
- Candid conversations about the challenge of valuing your work appropriately and avoiding the common trap of underpricing
- Insights on communicating the value of pre-production work when clients resist paying for this critical planning phase
- Comparisons of project management tools like Google Slides, Miro, and Notion for enhancing client communication
- Different perspectives on whether displaying pricing on websites helps filter leads or limits opportunities
The Monday Meeting community is hosting a game night this Wednesday (event info below in our Discord), and next week Lee will be sharing crazy pitch stories with Creative Director Jason Jacobson. Listeners are encouraged to join and share their own experiences.
