    In this episode, listen to learn about:

    Having a good pricing strategyApplying anchor pricingUsing metrics well

    Quote of the Episode

    If the pilot is free, make sure that it’s for a certain amount of time – and then you have the chance to renegotiate from there… In my personal experience, it’s easier to ask for more money than to ask for money at all.
