Overheard a client call their last freelancer 'cheap and easy' at a coffee shop

I was working at The Daily Grind yesterday and the person at the next table was on a call, telling someone they just needed a 'cheap and easy' writer for a blog project. It made me realize they probably said the same thing about me before I raised my rates. How do you get past being seen as the budget option when you start charging what you're worth?

My moving company lost a cheap client... then tripled our income with better ones.

That's a good way to look at it actually.
