So You Want to Create a High-Ticket Offer? Start Here.

May 29, 2025 by Mary Cravets

After I shared my last blog about why lowering your prices might be backfiring, the most common response was:

“Okay… I get it. I need a high-ticket offer. But how do I actually create one?”

Fair question. And the truth?

It’s not complicated – but it is layered.

So let’s break it down into two parts:

  • Questions to ask before you build anything
  • Steps to take once you’re ready to launch it into the world

This might feel like a lot, and that’s totally normal. But consider what happens when you skip this part…

You try to wing it, get stuck halfway, and end up with an offer that feels inauthentic – and no one buys it.

This list is here to help you avoid that.


Phase 1: Questions to Ask Before You Build

The more thought you give these upfront, the more effective you’ll be. (but don’t stall out here… move on to Phase 2 as quickly as possible!)

  1. What kind of client do I actually want to attract – and what are they struggling with most right now?
    Not vague goals – urgent, specific problems.
  2. What result is your ideal client actively seeking and willing to pay more for – and does your current work deliver that result?
  3. Which high-ticket driver feels most natural for me to deliver?
    • Higher intimacy
      More 1-on-1 time, more personal attention, and more direct access to you than what you currently offer in group programs or courses.
    • Faster immediacy
      Clients get results sooner, with priority access to your time, resources, or systems – instead of waiting for your usual enrollment cycle or delivery pace.
    • Higher intensity
      The experience is condensed and focused – think structured sprints, deep-dive days, or short-term intensives that deliver a lot in a short amount of time.
    • Luxury experience
      The setting and delivery feel elevated, exclusive, and curated – a clear step above your typical client experience.
  4. How does this offer fit into the big picture of my business?
    Will it simplify things… or complicate them? Do I realistically have the capacity to deliver this?
  5. What am I not willing to include – because it drains me, distracts me, or pulls me off course?
  6. Can I explain this offer in a way that makes the right people say, “Oh wow, I need that”?
    Or am I stuck on generic phrases that sound good but don’t really move people to action?

Phase 2: Steps to Actually Build It

Once those questions are clear, here’s what to tackle next:

  1. Define the transformation.
    Make it tangible, relevant, and worth the investment.
  2. Choose your format.
    One-on-one? Group? Retreat? VIP Day? Something hybrid?
    Build around how you actually like to work.
  3. Set your price – and your “I can say this without my voice getting squeaky” version.
    Start with the true value (regular price) and set a confident test price (preferred).
  4. Decide what’s included – and what’s not.
    Be precise. Overloading the offer doesn’t increase its value – it just muddies the waters and can leave you exhausted.
  5. Create your messaging.
    How do you talk about this offer in a way that makes the right people lean in?
  6. Design your marketing plan.
    No need for a complicated funnel – start with warm leads, real conversations, and personal outreach.
  7. Plan your timeline.
    When will you start offering this? What needs to happen first?
    Block time for development, outreach, and delivery – so it doesn’t sit on the back burner.

Phase 3: Visualize the Awesome

At any point in the process where you need a little motivation, take a moment to zoom out and reconnect to why this matters.

  • Picture the transformation your clients will experience – the real, lasting change this offer will help create.
  • Picture how you will feel delivering something that’s powerful, aligned, and genuinely worth the price tag.
  • Picture the ease of finally earning what your work is worth – without needing a hundred tiny offers to get there.

Because this isn’t just about building an offer.

It’s about creating a business model that’s easier to run, pays you well, and weathers any economic climate.

A Counter-Intuitive Move That’s Essential Right Now

May 29, 2025 by Mary Cravets

I’ve been talking with a lot of coaches lately, and here’s what I’m noticing: everyone’s creating lower-priced offers to address the soft economy.

Smaller packages, shorter commitments, DIY options – hoping that a lower price point will make it easier for people to say yes.

The problem with that approach is the people who are struggling financially are always going to be a tough sell.

And the people who are ready to invest? Still are.

So here’s the counter-intuitive move: create a high-ticket offer.

Like, now.

In this market, knowing how to create and sell a high-ticket offer isn’t just a good idea – it’s essential.

It might just be the most strategic move you can make to keep your business sustainable and profitable – no matter the economic climate.

I’m going to go create mine now!

Here is the step by step program.
