In her speech, Valterra will examine the psychology of why business women, even successful ones, undersell themselves.  Attendees of this teleseminar will explore the financial cost and emotional toll of discounting themselves and their services.  One topic of discussion will be how virtual assistants can protect their time as well as what individuals really want to buy.  Valterra will also examine the concept that not everyone should be able to afford a service professional’s fees and how this translates in a down economy.

Other topics covered include:

• How and why women under-price themselves
• How to avoid discounting
• How getting in touch with “resentment” can make more money
• How to charge full fees without feeling guilty about it
