The Humane Marketing Show. A podcast for a generation of marketers who care‪.‬ Sarah Santacroce, Entrepreneur, Humane Marketer

In this muse episode I talk about how the the current economic situation impacts our pricing as entrepreneurs. 
And why instead of raising my prices, I decided to go against the grain and lower the fee of my membership, the Humane Marketing Circle
***
Pricing is also one of the 7Ps that we discuss in detail during the Marketing Like We're Human program, my flagship program that I'm running again with a live cohort starting August 25th.
It will run over 8 weeks and is a hybrid program, part video tutorials and workbooks, part weekly live calls where we deepen these concepts.
If any of this resonates, please take some time to look at humane.marketing/program for a very detailed description of the program as well as a 19-minute behind the scenes video and then book a chat with me to see if it's a good fit.

Today I'm talking to Marcy Amato about how to build confidence and competence.
