323: Increase Commitment and Compensation from Clients with Kathryn Burge

323: Increase Commitment and Compensation from Clients with Kathryn Burge

How do we secure both commitment and appropriate compensation from our clients? Kathryn Burge, owner of Lake Oswego Petsitting, joins the show today to share her onboarding process and what it takes to get a commitment from clients. Kathryn breaks down how to take a hard look at your business and ask, "What's changed?" to make sure we are getting the most out of our business. She has learned the power of setting boundaries, and why charging for your time helps set yourself up for success.

Main topics:

  • What does 'concierge' mean
  • Finding balance
  • Valuing your time
  • Shifting services
  • Handling price increases

Main takeaway: Your processes and procedures will either increase, or decrease, the commitment your clients have with you.
