Taking Charge of What You Charge
GET YOUR PRICE!
Designed for all levels of creative professionals, this seminar is focused on teaching a successful strategy to answer the biggest creative conundrum: “What do I charge”?
Takeaway: Creatives will become more comfortable and confident when quoting projects and help their clients make the right choice (hiring them!) by presenting proposals instead of numbers.
Your members will learn how to create proposals and use pricing scripts, and practice role-play techniques to convince their clients that they’re the best (not the cheapest) person for the job. They will be taught better business communication skills and techniques to keep fears from overcoming good business sense.
Learn how to get clients to ask “what does it cost me?” instead of “what do you charge?”
Understand how to tell a client that it will “cost them more to pay less.”
Learn how to write a better contract that works for everyone
The Estimate Hot-Seat
YOU SUBMIT THE PHOTOGRAPHY PROPOSALS, I CREATE THE ESTIMATES, LIVE!
Witness me sweat the details, ask the hard questions, and try to get to a winning number.
The audience submits real-world photography project proposals in advance— I select up to three and create estimates live while the audience participates.
Takeaway: Your audience will see how to create an accurate, comprehensive estimate based on the real world, and be given an exclusive download link to my customizable estimate templates.
I select the three proposals and put them through my methodology of creating estimates, building upon the skills taught in Taking Charge of What You Charge. The process is projected live for the audience to see, and the mic is hot. The audience is encouraged to ask questions, offer opinions and throw wrenches into the process — just like clients do!

Testimonials for Taking Charge of What You Charge
“I attended Therese’s workshop on “Taking Charge of What You Charge” in Oslo, Norway. This was such a brilliant day, where Therese provided priceless information about how we in the creative business should handle our work: How to initiate deals, what to charge and especially important for me; not to feel guilty for charging clients for doing work we love to do! She was a real inspiration both in the trade secrets she shared openly and in her performance that day.”
— Bjørg Helene Andorsen, Graphic Designer at Norges KFUK-KFUM | Oslo, Norway
“I attended a session of Therese’s called “Taking Charge of What You Charge”. It was so helpful and immediately I was able to put what I learned from the session into use. Therese gave out a handout/checklist when speaking to clients over the phone and this helped me immensely!! Using the checklist really made communication go smoother and I was able to cover my bases. Thanks Therese!!!”
