Discover the fastest, mosT way to raise your pricing — and start booking 4 and 5 figure contracts.
Packages, freebies, and discounts . . .
Half the clients you’ve booked in the last year are bargaining, nit-picking and haggling with you just to get the best deal.
Even with 25-50 jobs on the calendar each year, you’re still struggling to bring in more than $10,000 in profit but you don’t know where to start to fix the problem!
You want to raise your pricing but even with your current rates people are saying you're out of the budget or asking for discounts which makes it nearly impossible to make the leap and do it!
You’ve waited to raise your pricing until you shot the job that promised to uplevel your portfolio, only to discover it wasn’t the show-stopper you’ve been banking on (back to square one?).
If you haven’t raised your pricing in over a year, it’s time for a check in.
Especially if...

CUSTOM TAILORED SERVICE
All because you haven’t yet discovered what all high-end + successful vendors know...
. . .If so, you’re probably stuck in what I call the “Pricing Plateau Loop”:
And if you’re immediately thinking, That sounds like a lot of work, KT!
Keep reading…
Because I have a secret for you.
Your revenue is frozen solid–or worse—steadily dropping (thanks, inflation! 👋) and you’re terrified to raise your pricing for fear that you’ll go from some clients to NO clients.
You probably don’t know what you’re actually making per hour, or the REAL cost of a weekend on your calendar…
And if you don’t change your strategy, you're going to STAY stuck or plateaued.
If you’re throwing at people, you’re underselling yourself and you're not serving your clients at the highest level.
Adding a ZERO to the end of your pricing won’t get you the clients you want.

So what does custom tailored service actually look like?
First of all, here’s what it doesn’t mean…

SO WHAT’S THE SECRET?
ENTER, CUSTOM PROPOSALS… *HUMBLY BOWS AND MAKES WAY*
What’s the tool that has helped thousands of photographers of all levels break out of their pricing plateaus?
Custom proposals are the most way to raise your pricing and book bigger contracts.

Think about it—how are you going to increase your value (read: pricing) if you don’t… increase your value (aka: your client’s experience)??
Once I started implementing custom proposals in my own business, my booking rates started to climb like the side of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
(And trust me, I know how steep that is!)

I offered a custom proposal for a couple who is having a wedding “part 2” this year. Since they didn’t need a full day, the hourly coverage was equal to my lowest “package,” but via the proposal, and including an album they wanted, I sold it for almost as much as my former top package and a waaaay higher profit margin! It makes me realize how I’ve been underselling myself by throwing packages at people before speaking with them.

I booked two multi-day weddings with 2 clients that I absolutely adore for later this summer 2021 that I would consider luxury. I went through the process, booked them at a rate that I don’t think I would have had the confidence or the trust in myself to do without the support of this community. They will be my highest paid bookings to date (still very crazy to think about that).

Custom proposals have given me the power to say, ‘Hey, this is me, this is my pricing. This is what I offer you, here’s the value. If you say yes, wonderful, let’s party, let’s do this thing. If not, I know that you’re going to find amazing other people. And here are my recommendations.”

Hi, I'm KT Merry . . .
I started reaching goals like…
Let me show YOU how! Let’s go →
I’ve already figured out how to consistently raise pricing and keep my calendar full.
Being a go-to photographer for celebrities and some of the top wedding planners in the world, like Lisa Vorce of Easton Events
And when I set out to build my own photography business 15+ years ago—
Before all the global recognition by Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and People Magazine...
I had zero knowledge of what was involved in growing and maintaining a business.
Behind the scenes, I didn’t know how much money I was actually making.
For example, I had no idea that every time I pushed the shutter button on my film camera, it cost me $2!

When I started implementing custom proposals, everything changed.
How long is the workshop?
The Pricing with Proposals workshop is virtual and recorded! Which means you can get TO it and THROUGH it at any speed that you like. The training is delivered in two parts, and each one is approximately an hour and a half.
What happens after I purchase?
As soon as you say ‘Yes!’ to leveling up your pricing game, you’ll get instant access to the Pricing With Proposals training. Everything you need will be sent straight to your inbox, with step-by-step instructions. The best part? You’ll have forever access to the content, so you can revisit it anytime you need to.
Can I get feedback from KT?
Each training session contains a Q&A session, where KT offers her feedback on the top pricing questions that photographers and creative entrepreneurs are asking. You’ll get her direct input and insights on best practices, troubleshooting roadblocks, and overcoming unique challenges.
Yes! My pricing strategies and custom proposal approach is adaptable to any photography business. In fact, any service-based business! You’ll have no trouble applying this approach and the tools to your own creative business for reaching your pricing and sales goals.
Do you offer refunds?
This training was created to make it as easy as possible for you to absorb and implement my pricing strategies and approach right away. You can begin using these tools immediately in your photography, or other service-based business. And because you will have ongoing, forever access to the training, we do not offer refunds.
I’m not a wedding photographer. Is this workshop still relevant?
I have a question I don’t see the answer to. Who can I ask?
We’d love to answer any more questions you have. Feel free to email our Team Members at team@ktmerry.com, and they’ll get back to you within 48 hours—if not sooner!
I’m packing a LOT of valuable teaching into just a handful of hours (because your time is valuable)! After the workshop, you will know how to determine WHAT you should be charging; how to use proposals to RAISE your pricing; how to communicate it confidently to your ideal clients; and how to easily create a custom proposal for every client that you pre-qualify using my proven process—and so much more!
