Back to Episodes38. What to Say When You Get “I Can’t Afford It” (Without Lowering Your Doula Prices)
Description
If hearing "I can't afford it" on a sales call feels like a punch to the gut—you’re not alone.
But here’s the truth no one’s telling you: it’s not just about the money. It’s about trust, belief, and identity.
In this raw and powerful episode, we’re unpacking why that phrase cuts so deep for women running heart-led businesses—and how to stop letting it shake your confidence.
You’ll learn:
- Why “I can’t afford it” is rarely the real objection—and what it actually means.
- 3 reframe questions you can ask right now to turn hesitation into powerful conversations.
- How to stand in your pricing unapologetically (without the guilt, the discounting, or the self-doubt).
- Why sales isn’t about convincing—it’s about empowering your clients to rise.
- What discounting really costs you—and what to do instead to protect your confidence and your brand.
If you're tired of second-guessing your worth and ready to sell with heart, certainty, and leadership, this episode's for you, doula.
