Pricing problems often point to deeper issues with cash flow, lead generation, or client boundaries. Linda Hunt explains how service businesses can establish a minimum aligned price, charge for scope and repeatable delivery, and stop absorbing extra work for free. She also shares why small business owners should review and adjust pricing at least annually.
