FAQ
Why do I feel uncomfortable charging what I'm worth?
Often rooted in personal money beliefs, imposter syndrome, or unclear value articulation. AI helps by providing objective market data and value analysis that counters emotional underpricing.
How do I know if my pricing discomfort is valid?
Valid discomfort: customers consistently object, conversion tanks at your prices, you can't deliver value at the price point. Invalid discomfort: strong conversions, happy customers, personal anxiety only.
What fixes pricing discomfort?
Either raise value to match price, lower price to match current value, or improve value communication so customers understand what they're getting. The fix depends on which is misaligned.
