Why Undercharging Is Killing Your Coaching Career with Anthony Diehl
from Mondays with Matt · host WS
Many coaches undercharge because they want to help people, avoid awkward sales conversations, or stay competitive. But low pricing can quietly hurt your coaching business, your client relationships, and your ability to provide excellent service. Matt Reynolds is joined by Anthony Diehl to discuss why undercharging as a coach often creates more problems than it solves. Cheap coaching can attract cheap commitment, force coaches into unsustainable volume, and make the service feel like a commodity instead of a high-value transformation. They explain why coaches should stop thinking of themselves as selling workouts, spreadsheets, or nutrition advice. The real value comes from coaching judgment, accountability, relationship, personalization, and helping clients apply the right plan to their actual lives. Matt and Anthony also discuss how to know when you are undercharging, how to think about your real hourly rate, why client retention and lifetime value matter, and how value ladders can help coaches serve different clients at different levels of support. Pricing is not just about making more money. It is about building a sustainable coaching business that allows you to serve clients well for the long haul. PS - Start coaching in 45 days!
