How much of a discount should a recurring plan offer?

A modest 10-15% discount off your one-off rate is usually enough to make a recurring plan attractive without undercutting your margin -- frame it as a loyalty rate, not a signal that your regular pricing is negotiable.

Should recurring plans have a cancellation fee or lock-in period?

Easy cancellation generally builds more trust and better retention than a restrictive lock-in. Being upfront and simple about cancellation terms differentiates you from services with a pushy contract reputation.

Who should I pitch a recurring plan to first?

Existing one-off customers who already had a good experience with you are the easiest conversion -- a simple mention after a completed job converts far better than cold outreach or advertising.
