One price for the journey — The program covers sessions, work in between and support when needed. 2. Spread the payments — Pay in full or monthly: the client commits and you receive a payment every month. 3. Reschedule, don't lose — A moved session is still part of the program and is simply rebooked. 4. Count client places — Track places taken and places freeing up to plan the following month. --- Leaving per-session pricing means setting one price for a whole coaching program instead of each hour, then letting your client pay it in instalments. Your income no longer depends on who rebooks this week. It depends on how many people you are supporting, so you know what next month looks like. ## Why per-session pricing makes income unpredictable Per-session pricing is a fee paid at every appointment, with no commitment to what comes next. Every session is a new buying decision for your client and a new uncertainty for you. A client cancels because her child is ill. Another postpones « until things calm down ». A third feels better and never rebooks. None of this means your work failed, but your bank account feels every bit of it. There is a quieter effect too. When each hour is paid separately, clients count. They space out sessions to spend less, even though regularity is what would help them most. **Per-session pricing pushes clients to buy less support than they actually need.** ## What changes with a program price? A program price covers the whole journey: the sessions, the work in between, the support when a hard moment comes. Your client stops comparing your hourly rate with someone else's and weighs a result over time instead. - **You know what's coming in.** A client who commits to three months and pays monthly gives you three months of known income from day one. - **Cancellations stop costing you.** A moved session is still part of the program, so you reschedule without losing money. - **You stop selling every week.** You sell once, then focus on the work. ## How to set and present the price Don't multiply your hourly rate by the number of sessions; that drags your client straight back to counting hours. Start from what the program changes in her life, what it really asks of you in time and availability, and what lets you live well from your practice. Then offer two ways to pay: in full or in monthly instalments. **A payment plan makes a coaching program accessible without discounting it.** On your page, show the program price only. If you show a per-session price next to it, people will do the maths and go back to thinking in hours. ## Run your practice in places, not hours Instead of asking how many hours you filled this week, ask how many client places you have and how many are taken. A place is one client supported over time. Decide how many you can hold without burning out, and when a place is about to free up next month, start talking about it now. Think about what comes after, too. A client finishing her program may want lighter follow-up sessions for a few months, which brings income without any new outreach. Steady income for a coach comes from programs sold as a whole, paid in instalments and counted in places.

Each committed client then represents several months of known income. Track your practice in client places filled rather than hours booked each week, so you can see the months ahead. **How do I price a coaching package?** Don't multiply your hourly rate by the number of sessions, or your client will start counting hours again. Start from what the program changes for her, the time and availability it really asks of you, and what lets you live well from your practice. Then present a single program price. **Should coaches offer payment plans?** Yes, it is often what makes a program accessible without lowering its price. Your client doesn't have to pay the full amount upfront, and you receive a regular payment every month. Show both options side by side: pay in full or pay in monthly instalments. **What should I do when a client keeps cancelling sessions?** With per-session pricing, every cancellation costs you. In a program paid as a whole, a moved session is still part of the deal: you reschedule without losing money and your client keeps her momentum. Set a clear rescheduling rule from the start so it stays simple for both of you. ## About BIZZY CONSULTING, founded by Heman Toussaint, helps coaches and helping professionals (wellbeing, life, leadership) with client acquisition, and builds the websites, CRMs and AI tools their practice runs on: the BIZZIES platform, 1:1 coaching, web and AI services (https://www.bizzyconsulting.agency/tools).
