Last year I spoke about pricing to a ton of folks in Miami. It was a fun session where I shared several insights on pricing for freelancers.
I also spoke in a tandem session with my buddy Steve last year on pricing, at [WordCamp Chicago](https://wordpress.tv/2014/07/03/steve-zehngut-and-chris-lema-are-you-ready-to-learn-a-bit-about-pricing/).
And of course I've written about pricing from [the perspective of product pricing](https://www.amazon.com/Price-Right-Chris-Lema-ebook/dp/B00HNR1QKQ/ref=la_B0077Q0QXG_1_3?tag=chrlemsit-20).
But all of that was last year. And we're in a new year. So, when my good friends from [iThemes](https://chrislema.com/Toolkit) invited me to share with them some new insights for a recent webinar, I jumped at the chance.
In this 45 minute video, I'll cover the following:
* Why value based pricing is really hard (to begin with)
* How positioning can help clients understand what they're really paying for
* A truth that will help you significantly, both in shaping your role and in closing deals
* Skipping the mistake most people make when articulating their price
* The hardest thing to do when it comes to preparing for the pricing conversation
* A tip that most of us forget when we're talking with prospects
