“If you feel like you need to take your business to the next level but you’re not sure how to go about doing so, I highly recommend Jonathan’s private coaching.”
“Stop reading this quote and hire Jonathan. If you’re still not sure, call me and I’ll read this quote to you again.”
“I wish I could turn back the clock and I would have hired Jonathan when I first started my business - it would have saved me years of struggling. I always thought I could do everything on my own - but I hit a wall and realized I needed help to get to next level of my own game.
“I would definitely recommend private coaching with Jonathan for people who are open to changing how they work but want to rapidly develop their learning by benefiting from his decades of experience and crystal-clear communication about tricky consulting situations.
Working with Jonathan Stark completely changed how I think about the value of my work.
The result? I successfully negotiated a project worth 10x what I had originally planned to charge, and my client never questioned the investment because the value was clear from the very beginning.

About Jonathan
Hi! I’m Jonathan Stark and I was a software consultant for the better part of fifteen years. I’ve given sold out talks on three continents, I am the author of five books, and I have helped brands like Staples, Time, T-Mobile, and others with their software strategy, tactics, and training. (You can check out my press page for more info.)

In my first year as a solo consultant, I doubled my income by ditching hourly billing for value pricing. I have over a decade of real-world experience successfully applying value-based theories to my own consulting work and that of 100+ business owners I have counseled. These days I routinely command an effective hourly rate of $2000+ per hour.
The unconscious acceptance of hourly billing as the best and only option for selling services is a collective hallucination that literally keeps me up at night. In fact, I consider it my mission in life to rid the earth of hourly billing. Care to join me? You’ll be glad you did. 🙂
