How to sell high-ticket web design projects

Does any of this sound familiar?

A person typing on a laptop wearing a smartwatch with a blue band, positioned on a wooden surface.

You hate the pressure you feel on a consultation to share pricing when you don't feel like you have all the information you really need to give an accurate price.

You get the concept of selling outcomes and results vs. deliverables to charge higher prices… but you're unsure exactly how to talk about relevant and realistic outcomes and results.

You logically believe in your new higher prices… but still have a hard time justifying them to yourself, let alone your clients.

You spend way too much time researching, planning and putting together detailed proposals that might not even result in a new client.

You dread the entire consultation > proposal > sales process and you wish you could skip it and make all of your money from VIP days, maintenance plans or passive income.

You think your proposal needs to look a certain way to “sell” clients on working with you… and you secretly feel like your proposals aren't “good enough” and are constantly searching for the perfect proposal template.

A person with short hair and glasses sits comfortably on a bed, typing on a laptop in a cozy, well-lit room.

If it sounds like I've been reading your mind, you're in the right place.

What if you never questioned your worth or pricing again?

Imagine how confident you'd be in the sales process if you knew your client could make 10x more than they ever paid you after working with you. What if you could show your client why the investment is worth it without having to tell them, sell them or convince them?

What if your sales process felt helpful, engaging and valuable instead of self-serving, pushy and needy?

"She wanted the highest-priced package!"

“I did a paid strategy session and followed it with an Irresistible Package Matrix™, and I had assumed that if she was going to move forward she would pick the lowest priced package. I managed to not show my surprise on the follow-up call when she said she wanted the highest-priced package!”

Meet Your Mentors

Hi, I'm Shannon Mattern!

I'm the founder of the Web Designer Academy and host of the Profitable Web Designer Podcast, and I've taught thousands of web designers how to package, price, position, market and sell their services so that they can create freedom, flexibility and financial independence.

Inside our Web Designer Academy mentorship program, we added a paid discovery step to our end-to-end process for selling high-ticket web design projects… and the results were phenomenal.
 
So we decided to make our Paid Discovery strategy available to anyone who wants to make more without adding more to their already overflowing play.
