How to Get Paid Your True Worth Ethically : Without Selling Your Soul (and keeping your clients happy!)

Many highly skilled professionals are excellent at their work but uncomfortable talking about money. They underestimate, discount before clients object, allow scope creep, delay invoices or continue working for clients who have not paid. How to Get Paid Your True Worth Ethically, Without Selling Your Soul explores the confidence and self-worth behind these habits and shows readers how to change them without pressure or aggressive sales tactics. As reviewer Melanie Goodman puts it, "Self-worth drives the fee conversation, and if that is shaky, no pricing formula will hold." Drawing on thirteen years of work with lawyers, accountants, consultants and other professional-services firms, Ugatti presents her nine-principle True Worth™ Methodology and the Magic Triangle, a framework balancing client value, business value and personal wellbeing. Practical exercises, real-life stories and guidance help readers communicate fees calmly, manage scope, improve billing and reduce avoidable revenue leakage. Written for business owners and employed professionals who set prices, discuss fees or manage client work, the book offers an ethical route to charging appropriately and building a sustainable business.
