I need help with pricing
11 years ago
Usually I price myself at $20 an hour. I feel like Ive grown since then, and am struggling to figure out a way to price my commissions.
Does anyone have any suggestions or links that may be able to help me?

Try testing the waters with an increase and see what happens (though I say for about a month minimum, one round is too subject to other factors). That's really the best way to see if you can ask more and still receive an income.
Take a reasonable hourly wage for a full time worker in your industry working at a company and multiply it by 4-5x. That's how much you charge for your nose-to-the-grindstone time actually working for your customer.
The reason you need to charge this much is because, as a general rule, you'll be spending about 3/4 of your working time not actually "working" in a billable sense (and then you get to pile expenses on top of that). There's all kinds of overhead that sucks up your time and you need to account for that or you'll just end up poor, frustrated and overworked wondering why you can't keep your head above water charging what seems like a perfectly decent hourly rate.
