Rich explores the hidden cost of underpricing in professional services and its impact on business growth.
Underpricing often starts from a good place. Many professional service business owners lower their prices to stay competitive, attract clients, or avoid losing opportunities. But over time, underpricing becomes expensive. It creates pressure, weakens positioning, drains energy, and quietly limits the growth of the business. In this episode, Rich explores the hidden cost of underpricing and why the issue is rarely just about numbers. If you’ve ever felt busy but not properly rewarded for the work you do, this episode will resonate. Visit https://www.everettcoaching.com to learn more.
