My accountant told me to raise my rates by 30% last quarter

Everyone says to go slow with price hikes, but she insisted a big jump would filter out bad clients fast. I did it and lost two regulars, but the new project I landed from the higher rate covers their old income in half the hours. Has anyone else made a sudden rate change that actually worked out?

Totally! I doubled my rates overnight once (which felt crazy) and honestly, it just made room for better work.

That "filter out bad clients fast" thing is spot on. I did a 40% jump once and it scared off the people who always complained about invoices. The clients who stayed were easier to work with and paid without question.

Price is a great filter for everything.
