Corporate Training Pricing Guide: Get Paid Faster with Becflow
Discover the common pricing mistakes corporate trainers make and learn how to create a profitable pricing strategy with Becflow's invoicing and payment solutions
You've spent months developing a new corporate training program, and finally, you land a major client. But when it's time to send the invoice, you realize you've forgotten to include the cost of materials and travel. The client pushes back, and you end up losing thousands of dollars. This is just one of the many common mistakes corporate trainers make when it comes to pricing. In this guide, we'll show you how to create a profitable pricing strategy that gets you paid faster and more reliably.
Why this keeps happening
Corporate trainers often struggle with pricing because they don't have a clear understanding of their costs, don't charge enough for their services, or don't have a clear payment schedule. This can lead to cash flow problems, stressed relationships with clients, and a lack of confidence in your pricing strategy.
Real example
Sarah, a corporate trainer, had been working with a client for three months when she realized she had forgotten to include a crucial component in her pricing: travel expenses. When she sent the client the final invoice, they pushed back, saying it was too high. Sarah was forced to negotiate with the client, ultimately losing thousands of dollars.
The habits that fix this permanently
These are the non-negotiables for getting paid reliably in your profession:
How to implement this step by step
Step 1: Calculate Your Costs
Start by tracking your costs for a month to get a clear understanding of what you need to charge. Include all expenses, from materials and travel to time and administrative costs. Use this data to create a pricing structure that covers your costs and allows for a profit. For example, Sarah realized she needed to charge at least $5,000 per month for her training services to cover her costs, including travel expenses.
Step 2: Determine Your Pricing Structure
Decide on a pricing structure that works for your business. You can use a tiered pricing model, where different levels of service are offered at different price points. Or, you can charge a flat fee for a specific service. Make sure to communicate your pricing structure clearly to clients upfront. For example, Marcus, a corporate trainer, offers a tiered pricing structure for his training services, with different levels of service offered at different price points.
Step 3: Create a Clear Payment Schedule
Establish a clear payment schedule and terms that are communicated to clients upfront. This includes the payment due date, payment methods accepted, and any late payment fees. Use Becflow's payment links to make it easy for clients to pay you on time. For example, when working with a new client, Sarah always sends a payment link with her invoice, making it easy for the client to pay on time.
Step 4: Negotiate with Clients
When negotiating with clients, focus on the value you bring to their business, rather than just lowering your price. Emphasize the benefits of your services, such as increased productivity and employee engagement. Use data and statistics to support your claims. For example, Marcus was able to negotiate a higher price with a client by emphasizing the ROI of his training services.
