Beyond the Billable Hour: Smarter Pricing for Agencies
Running a small agency means balancing creative excellence with the realities of running a business. Yet too often, agencies rely on pricing models that cap profitability and undervalue their work. In this session, we’ll tackle the two areas that most directly impact your bottom line: pricing strategies and time tracking. You’ll learn how to move beyond billable hours and adopt smarter pricing models that align with the true impact of your work. And, we’ll discuss why time tracking is still vital to understanding where profits (and losses) really happen.
What we’ll cover:
✔ Break free from billable hours
✔ Price based on value, not effort
✔ Discover why time tracking still matters
✔ Spot profit leaks before they happen
✔ Gain strategies you can apply the very next day
