In this solo episode, Shannon Mattern walks you through her Package Matrix™ Method, the pricing framework she created to solve undercharging, over-delivering and overworking. This isn't theory. It's the exact strategy Web Designer Academy students use to go from $5,000 projects to $15,000 projects with the same clients. Shannon breaks down the behavioral economics and pricing psychology behind why three options convert at 70% on average, why leading with value instead of budget changes the entire sales conversation, and how to anchor high so your clients actually choose to invest more... without you having to convince them of anything. This session was originally recorded live at the Simply Profitable Designer Summit and is packed with real-time Q&A, student success stories, and specific examples you can apply immediately.
