If you’re still pricing your services based on what the competition is doing — STOP. 🚨 You’re playing a losing game.

On a recent coaching call, Mario Aldayuz (Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools) dropped some truth bombs about pricing strategies that actually make you profitable — not just busy.

And honestly? It was a masterclass that every agency owner needed to hear. Let’s dig into the good stuff…

Build Your Business Right First

Before we even got into pricing, Mario reminded everyone:
👉 Set up your business properly.

(Yes, again. It’s THAT important.)

Black Highlight:

• ✅ Get your LLC or corporation in place to limit liability and build real credibility.
  
• ✅ Hire a CPA and use bookkeeping tools like QuickBooks or Xero.

If you don’t treat your business like a business, why should clients treat you like a pro? 🤷‍♂️

The Pricing Mindset Shift You Have to Make

Mario’s biggest point? Don’t compete on price. Compete on VALUE.

Trying to be the cheapest in the market is a death sentence for your margins, your energy, and your brand.

Instead, position yourself as the premium choice by making your value obvious.

Example:
Mario shared a killer model:

• Base offer: $297/mo for core CRM functionality.
• Then upsell add-ons like AI tools, websites, marketing automations, etc.
  

Black Highlight:

• ✅ Core offer keeps entry simple and attractive.
• ✅ Upsells give you room to grow revenue without stressing over finding 100 new clients.
• ✅ Clients can scale up with you as their needs evolve.

Tiered pricing = freedom for you and your clients.

“But, What If They Say I’m Too Expensive?”

Good question. Happens all the time.

Mario’s answer was simple: If someone says you’re too expensive, they don’t understand the VALUE.

It’s your job to help them connect the dots between what you offer and the problem it solves.

When a prospect truly sees the ROI (saving time, closing more deals, automating more follow-ups, etc.), 👉 they stop focusing on cost and start focusing on outcomes.

Black Highlight:

• ✅ Sell the transformation, not the features.
• ✅ Tell client success stories.
• ✅ Break down the math of what even ONE closed deal could mean for their business.

Shift the conversation from “price” to “profit.”
