Should I display pricing on my website?
The definition of real community

Free Agent event this weekend.

Jimmy: I have been going back and forth on whether to put the price of my coaching package on my website. I currently have my price on my services page on my website, but I don’t know if that is preventing people from contacting me after they look at my website. I’m starting to get more and more traffic from my blog posts and Google adwords is optimized and bringing quality traffic in my area, but no phone calls or emails for the free 30 minute consult after they view my services page. My gut feeling tells me to take it off so I can explain the value of coaching before I tell them the price, but I figured you would be the best person to ask and other coaches may have this same question.

Community post. Have you had it since college? Where?

I don’t think true community can happen online. To me, “internet communities” are pseudo-community. They might look like it, and at first give some good feelings, but unless you’re getting together in person, the relationship won’t be very well established. Online interactions are just that: interactions based on information. Sure, video chat helps when you’re long-distance, either to keep previous connections going when you’re away, or to develop some new connections that you’ve started in other places.

We can help each other out immensely online, and over the phone. I will grant that. But there’s also a big downside: spending time online or on a smartphone, texting/IM/chatting people living in other places, and flat-out IGNORING the people who are in the same room. That’s a pet peeve of mine!

But there’s something deep down inside me that craves getting together with a group of like-minded men in the place where I live. Calling each other up, or spontaneously dropping by and doing something together. Talking about business, life, family, and faith.

I bet everyone has that same craving, Ryan. It took me plenty of years to find it, but now that I have it, I’m doing whatever I can to never lose it.

Justin excellent show as always. I think community is something we don’t realize we need until we first get a taste of it. I know when I first got started into business I tried to do everything on my own and that did not work out so well. But this past year I have been connecting with a lot of people who I have gotten to know better and have inspired me on to bigger and better things. It is not just in business though that community is needed. When I first had true community in church (Yes it can happen, it just doesn’t happen a lot) it knocked my socks off because I had never felt that before in a church. Being with a group of people for four years now, getting to know them, and being able to honestly share what is going on in your life feels so good!

To back Ryan’s point though, I agree that true community is hard to have online. We live in the most connected world ever, but also the least intimate. I feel that we tend to just stick to online communities because it is “easier” and “safer.” But to put yourself out there and have true
community is hard . . . but well worth it. Thanks again for this episode Justin, I really enjoyed it.

Super great points, Jonathan. You’re right about our connected world: it’s hard to go deep.
