I definitely take the “breath-stopping high” approach when I’m already busy with work. If I can afford to let a prospect walk away, it’s much easier to toss out something that sounds ridiculous to me — and that way if they bite, it’s worth dropping my lowest-priced client off the back.

My biggest rate jumps have come when I’m already booked solid. (Or when I have a good cushion in the bank.) It helps me quote from a mindset of confidence in my value, rather than of fear and scarcity.
