"I reworked my pricing structure and doubled my rates for the same work I was doing last year. I feel more grounded in my confidence getting on sales calls with a clear objective and knowing the value and unique experience I can bring to our clients.

I would say the most valuable aspect of the program for me has been the sales element. Understanding how to structure a sales call, getting on more of them just for the sake of practice, and asking the right questions to identify red flags up front and step into the role of expert/diagnoser vs. skillset for hire. "

"My biggest win was during the mindset module. I feel like I had big breakthroughs by taking the time to actually zoom out, remember why I started my business in the first place, and what success truly looks like for me (no one else’s definition).

That mental clarity has been priceless in helping me move forward with new goals and to know that I’m already a success even though my business looks different from others and has different goals."

"My favorite moment was when I booked 3 different projects at an average price of $4k that have taken me DAYS to complete instead of months! 

 have also become fully comfortable with bracketing $10-$15k plus projects to new clients and have the day rate as a backup offering if they can't make that kind of investment."

"There are so many direct results I got from this program--but I would say the biggest overarching one would be learning how to operate as a confident and legit design business--not just a freelancer. 

I tripled my income the year after my first round of DBM which was in itself amazing. I learned how to price myself and price projects well. I don't feel like pricing is this illusive guessing game anymore. I learned how to manage clients well and have appropriate boundaries with them. I learned how to increase my prices by communicating the value of design to my audience."
