LinkedIn Case Study: How To Raise Your Rates 300% WITHOUT Losing Clients

Most coaches & consultants know they’re undercharging. Very few ever fix it.

In this episode of LinkedIn Riches, I sit down with Robert Hernandez, President & CEO of Influens, to unpack how he increased his workshop and consulting rates by 300% - without pushback, awkward conversations, or losing clients.

Robert works with Fortune 500 companies like TripAdvisor, HSBC Bank, and Dover Corporation. Yet for years, his pricing didn’t reflect his credentials, experience, or results. What changed wasn’t just a number - it was how he saw his value, the market, and the story he told clients.

If you’re a consultant, coach, or service provider who knows you’re leaving money on the table, this conversation will challenge how you think about pricing, positioning, and confidence.
