"Thank you Manisha and Salil for awesome session.🙏 I loved the concept you guys have developed that taking ideas from books and putting into teaching for people who can’t read books due to whatever reasons. I do read lots of books, I do take some ideas from them but when it comes into implementing it I am not able to do it. This workshop helped me understanding our thinking of putting it in a different perspective…. Will definitely try to implement !!!😊😊😊 Appreciate your efforts. 👍"
"Thank you Manisha & Salil for an amazing workshop. I was so lost and always thought I'm not that great at sales but the way you guys explained I am now very much clear on what needs to be done. Especially the sheet that you provided with to fill for us made me question why I'm doing what I'm doing. I am so glad I decided to join the workshop because I've come out to be a completely different person after that✨"

The session was packed with valuable takeaways, and I gained immense clarity on the various factors to consider when pricing my services and products.

Thank you for such an in-depth session @Manisha Rastogi @Salil Arekar . It was an absolutely brilliant learning experience. Thank you for answering each and every query and making it so relatable to every business owner. I have so much work to do now with pricing 😬😬😬 but looking forward to it. Thank you so much ❤️
Great session on pricing strategies @Manisha Rastogi & @Salil Arekar it was highly enriching and has given me ample material to reflect on. Bahut mar padi 🫣 got me thinking and lots of homework TO DO😄 on my part as well. As I am only four months into my full-time business venture, I have zeroed in on three critical components to focus on: USP+TA+PS 4 SALES. My immediate next step will be to translate the session's learning into action. 😊 Thank you.
Thanks Manisha and Salil..as always it's great to have u both knock some sense into me! Pricing has always been a palpitating wala thing for me. While I know I'm undervaluing myself I just didn't really follow a systematic way of finding out what I'm worth...so this was a good session..lots to work on that front..pls expect some more questions from me🫣
"Thank you @Manisha Rastogi and @Salil Arekarfor briliant learning experience. When i came to attend was like in between of pricing quoting which leads to always doubting n confused but after this session clarified 1) how many billable hours post consultations , for any precise timeline of that particular month - never counting these efforts in my pricinng 2) awareness of pricing NRI clients on account of billable hours 3) most important how to calculate pricing the service . So lot of homework to do 😅but am very happy that i am moving in right direction 👍"
What an Amazing 225 minutes of brain fry session today! @Manisha Rastogi @Salil Arekar Thank you both so much for such a power packed, content filled session!
