In this episode of the Brand Up Podcast, we break down the real strategy behind pricing, competition, and client retention — especially for service-based businesses working from home.

We dig into how you should actually compare yourself to competitors, how to position your home setup as an advantage, and why undercharging early will trap you with the wrong clients and kill your ability to grow.

You’ll hear the full breakdown on:

• How to research direct vs. indirect competitors the smart way
• Why client experience beats “years of experience” every time
• How to price yourself without sabotaging your future
• Why splitting your attention between too many services destroys momentum
• The truth about commission vs. hourly in service businesses
• How to get repeat clients without gambling on random referrals
• Why low-price clients often complain the loudest
• The mindset shift every early-stage business owner needs

If you’re trying to build a real client base, stop guessing and start thinking like a marketer — this episode shows you how.
