A short YouTube advice clip by Peter Vander Wall explaining why prospects reject high-priced premium services. Using an anecdote, the speaker says a client’s $5,000/month CFO retainer shocked a prospect who wasn’t yet educated on its value. The recommended fix is to offer a lower-commitment, one-time project (explicit example: a $5,000 one-time project) that solves a specific small problem to deliver a quick win; after that, selling the $5,000/month service becomes much easier.

You're pitching your premium service right out the gate and you're wondering why prospects keep choking on the price. One of my clients did this. He pitched a $5,000 a month CFO service to a prospect and she about fell out of her chair. Now, she needed the service, there's no question about that. But she wasn't educated enough yet to see the full value. Now here's the fix you probably need to create an intro. Offer something lower commitment, like a $5,000 one time project. Make it solve a very small specific problem, give them a quick win, and then once they see the value, selling that $5,000 a month CFO service actually becomes pretty easy.
