Quick truth: Data science isn't just support, it's becoming the core driver of business decisions.
But too many data freelancers and consultants still charge like analysts.
Here's how to rethink your value and pricing as a Data Alchemist:
🧠 1. Translate Insights to $$$
→ “This model helped save $150K in churn last quarter.”
💼 2. Package for Strategy, Not Just Reports
- Insights Pack: $3K
- Live Dashboard Setup: $5K
- Decision Support Systems: $ 10 K+
🛠️ 3. Price the Process + the Result, don’t just deliver a CSV or a dashboard.Deliver:
- A brief explanation of the story
- Use-cases they didn’t think of
- Next actions
🪙 4. Add Retainers for Monitoring & EvolutionGood data isn’t a one-time it evolves.
And clients pay to stay ahead.
Pricing tip: If your insights change decisions, then you're already worth 10x more. Price likes it.
