Saw some german agency pricing dev hours today. Dang I am selling myself short.

They are incompetent and charge $$$ it's crazy.

Something I once learnt from someone who's done lots of consulting & contracting;

Companies have 2 mental price buckets "freelancer" and "agency"

To unlock those 4 figure day rates, you need to sell yourself as an agency that is fully handling delivery, not fitting in to an existing delivery process

Love to talk about new ideas, build and use AI daily

Yeah it's mostly a perception thing actually (for the big companies that buy this and mix agencies + freelancers).

For smaller companies, I think the difference is fully outsourced vs work by spec.

If you are doing full service then yes, should definitely think of how to increase pricing

yep likely need to ask more questions around that too vs just pushing everyone into my spec based flow

yep need to rewire my circuits to that flow and be good

This is it.

The universe is built that you can get paid 10x more to know when to tell someone not to build a specific software instead of just delivering it
