    S2 EP73: The Real Cost of Undercharging (It's Not Just the Money)

    When did you last actually put your prices up? I don't mean think about it, or tell yourself you probably should. I mean do it. For a lot of the owners I start to work with, the honest answer is a long time ago, or never. The reasons we give ourselves sound perfectly fair, and yet underneath them there's usually something quieter and more expensive going on: undercharging has started to feel safer than raising prices. In this short, direct episode, I explain why it isn't. I discuss the price-led clients your low pricing attracts and why they are a major sap on your energy, what undercharging quietly does to your sales conversations. And the mental energy it drains from the most valuable resource in your business, which is you. 📚 Resources Mentioned Be part of The Hidden Revenue Challenge, starting on Monday 8th June: www.nikihutchison.com/revenue Connect with Niki • Website: nikihutchison.com • Instagram: @nikihutchison • LinkedIn: Niki Hutchison 👩‍💼 About the Host Niki Hutchison is a marketing strategist with 25+ years of experience helping service-based businesses go from overlooked to fully booked.

    S2 EP70: The Hidden Revenue Already Sitting In Your Business

    If I asked you today which of your offers makes you the most money for the least time investment, could you actually answer? Most established business owners go quiet on that question, yet that silence is exactly where your money is hiding. In this solo episode, I'm making the case that most established service-based businesses are operating well below what they're capable of earning, and it almost never comes down to needing more clients, a flashier funnel or a rebrand. It comes down to three things: how your offers are structured, whether there's any recurring revenue underneath them, and whether your pricing actually reflects the value you deliver. This is the episode for you if you're working hard, getting results, and quietly wondering why the numbers still don't quite add up and you're ready to stop guessing and start diagnosing.

    S2 EP69: TikTok vs Instagram with Hannah Saycell

    Have you been quietly resisting TikTok for your business? You're not the only one. It's the platform many business owners still avoid, usually because it feels like it's for someone younger, someone with more time, or someone whose business looks different to theirs. This week I'm joined by Hannah Saycell, multi-award-winning agency owner and one of the smartest voices on social media I know, for a proper, honest conversation about TikTok versus Instagram. Hannah makes a compelling case for TikTok as a discoverability engine, Instagram as a community space and both are more than useful for making sales, if you use them in the right way. If you've been wondering whether TikTok is worth your time, or how to make Instagram work harder for you, this episode is definitely worth half an hour of your time. 📚 Resources Mentioned The Marketing Insiders Club - www.nikihutchison.com/membership Connect with Hannah • Hannah Saycell on Instagram: @hannahsocialfolk • Hannah Saycell on Tik Tok: @hannahsocialfolk Connect with Niki • Website: nikihutchison.com • Instagram: @nikihutchison • LinkedIn: Niki Hutchison 👩‍💼 About the Host Niki Hutchison is a marketing strategist with 25+ years of experience helping service-based businesses go from overlooked to fully booked.

    You've tried the courses, the strategies, the consistency challenges. You've changed niches, raised prices, redone your offers. And somewhere underneath all that motion, the business hasn't actually moved. This episode is about why, and what to do about it. 📚 Resources Mentioned The Marketing Insiders Club: nikihutchison.com/membership Connect with Niki • Website: nikihutchison.com • Instagram: @nikihutchison • LinkedIn: Niki Hutchison 👩‍💼 About the Host Niki Hutchison is a marketing strategist with 25+ years of experience helping service-based businesses go from overlooked to fully booked.

    S2 EP67: The Advice That Wasn't Built For You with Nicky Denson-Elliott

    Being visible in your business is riskier for women than for men. That isn't a feeling. It's a fact, and most marketing advice is built for people who don't have to carry it. This week, Nicky Denson-Elliott joins the podcast — host of the Women's Business podcast, founder of The Wilder Collective, and a professional feminist who has spent a long time looking at what women in business are actually navigating. The conversation covers visibility tension, the research on why the biggest gender pay gap in the UK sits inside self-employment, and why "fake it till you make it" does more damage to women than almost any other piece of advice in circulation. What you won't hear is permission. What you will hear is a sharper way of thinking about pricing, positioning, and how you show up, one that takes the conditions women actually work under seriously, and builds from there. 📚 Resources Mentioned • Nicky Denson-Elliott on Instagram: @nickydensonelliott • The Wilder Collective: nickydensonelliott.com • Women's Business Podcast (hosted by Nicky) • Good Girl Economics research (referenced in episode) Connect with Niki • Website: nikihutchison.com • Instagram: @nikihutchison • LinkedIn: Niki Hutchison 👩‍💼 About the Host Niki Hutchison is a marketing strategist with 25+ years of experience helping service-based businesses go from overlooked to fully booked.
