Being good at what you do is not the same as knowing
what to charge for it.
An intensive workshop for freelancers, consultants, and independent professionals in Argentina who set prices by guessing, copying competitors, or accepting whatever clients offer.
The difference that changes everything
Most independent professionals are technically skilled but have never been taught how pricing actually works. This is what that gap looks like in practice.
- Pricing based on gut feeling or social comparison
- Taxes, obra social, and unpaid vacation not factored in
- Dead time between projects silently eroding income
- Guilt every time you send a quote
- Hourly rate calculated from actual costs and real working hours
- All invisible costs accounted for and included
- A pricing structure you can explain and defend
- No more guilt when sending a budget
How the two days work
The workshop is structured so each participant leaves with a completed, personalized pricing document — not just concepts.
Map Your Real Costs
We start by building a complete picture of what your work actually costs. Taxes, health insurance, retirement contributions, equipment, software, office space, and the hours you work but never bill — all of it goes into the calculation.
Calculate Your Billable Hours
We count how many hours per year you can realistically charge for, after accounting for vacation, sick days, administrative work, business development, and the inevitable gaps between projects.
Build Your Pricing Structure
With your real cost per hour established, we work on how to present and communicate your rates — including how to handle different project types, retainers, and clients who ask for discounts.
What the workshop covers
The costs you're not counting
Monotributo or Responsable Inscripto taxes, obra social, retirement contributions, accountant fees, equipment depreciation, software subscriptions, and the time you spend on administration — all of these reduce your real hourly income and most freelancers never include them.
Vacation you don't get paid for
An employee gets paid vacation. You don't. If you take two weeks off, you earn nothing for two weeks. That cost needs to be distributed across your working hours — but almost nobody does this calculation.
Dead time between projects
The weeks between clients, the time spent on proposals that don't convert, the days lost to uncertainty — these are real costs of being independent. We calculate what percentage of your year is actually billable and factor that into your rate.
How to present and defend your rate
Knowing your number is one thing. Being able to say it without flinching is another. We work on the language and logic you use when presenting a budget, and how to respond when clients push back.
Who this workshop is for
This program is designed for independent professionals in Argentina who work for themselves and set their own rates.
Freelancers
Designers, developers, photographers, copywriters, translators, and other independent creatives and technical professionals who bill by project or by hour.
Consultants
Business, marketing, HR, financial, and strategy consultants who sell their expertise and time but struggle to put a clear and justified number on what that's worth.
Independent Professionals
Lawyers, accountants, architects, therapists, coaches, and other professionals who operate independently and need a pricing structure that reflects the full cost of their practice.
