Markus Hartmann

The seminar "Pricing for agencies" with Markus is inspiring in many ways. The change of perspective on pricing, the work on concrete practical cases and the exchange among the participants were my personal highlights. An absolute and qualified recommendation - thank you Markus!

Wow. Markus performs in the seminar with wit and charm, is engaging and at eye level.
That means three days of concentrated input - presented in a practical and very clear way.
- Rounded off by a great all-round carefree package with overnight accommodation and excellent cuisine.

The pricing seminar with Markus was very inspiring and is valuable for our agency in the truest sense of the word. The exchange with other participants was also very enriching. We are now looking forward to putting the content into practice.

The must-attend seminar for all agency managers and anyone who wants to set up an agency. Many thanks for the valuable impulses and change of perspective. Unreserved recommendation!

Markus Hartmann knows how to convey his teachings clearly, emphatically and humorously. Better conversations, better prices, more security and more freedom in cooperation. - He keeps his promises! We as an agency benefit from working with him. In short: a very clear recommendation!

Markus has been with me since 2020 and is simply a kind-hearted person. He tells you clearly when you're wrong, but as a coach he helps you to come to the realization yourself. He is an advisor, mentor and friend.
His topics are about pricing, but not from a sales perspective - it's not about closing or putting pressure on customers. It is more about being fully aligned with customers, understanding them and thus automatically generating more value. More value = better price. For both customers and service providers.

As far as coaches in the agency environment are concerned, I was a bit of a sore thumb and therefore skeptical. But Markus quickly managed to dispel any doubts. His tips and food for thought can be implemented immediately and in our case also led directly to more profit. A clear recommendation.

Markus helped me and my agency with a lot of commitment and passion. He was able to explain all of his theories in a way that was easy for me to understand and guided us competently on our way to better value-based prices.

Working with Markus is not an "ordinary" collaboration with fixed sessions like with a coach or therapist. Rather a holistic support with a genuine interest in the agency's success. Markus has the ability to shake fixed beliefs through targeted questions. With supposedly simple, but often so clear, human and logical ideas Markus helps to more joy, better customer relationships and ultimately more profit.

I first took advantage of many free offers from Markus and then went to the Pricing Seminar for Agencies. Absolutely brilliant! It has brought me and our agency miles ahead and was worth every cent :)

on the subject of negotiations and price options, I think Markus is a great person and am happy to recommend him.

The seminars with Markus are refreshingly open, honest, exciting and mercilessly clear up outdated customs of the working world. Simply great and very motivating.

Nowhere else in D-A-CH do such open, useful and exciting people come together for such an exchange as with Markus Hartmann, who moderates and organizes this in such a wonderfully unagitated, sovereign and masterful manner, thus creating immediate benefits for practice.

As an agency, you are always in direct and often fiercely competitive competition with other agencies. We are all in the same boat. With the same problems, worries and needs - but instead of learning from each other, profiting from each other or simply exchanging experiences, we meet each other with suspicion and resentment.
In my opinion, Markus invalidates this competitive thinking with his consulting and service offer and thus creates a (slowly but steadily growing) paradigm shift. I am already enthusiastic before the start of his seminar and I am sure that with his psychology we will get more out of ourselves and for ourselves as well as achieve even better things for our customers.

Markus Hartmann makes it possible to leave old ways and to free oneself from ballast, e.g. time recording.

We can recommend the cooperation for Markus without hesitation and unconditionally.

Since the beginning of 2020, he has helped us with his often unconventional approaches to break with established and harmful beliefs about both pricing and agency management and to adopt new, better, value-creating ways. We have followed his approaches, and to make a long story short, with outstanding results: More value, more appreciation, happier clients and employees.

And along the way, he has created what is probably the best, most collegial community of agency owners in the German-speaking world.

I have been working with Markus on and off for more than 4 years now and will be very happy to continue doing so. His expertise and knowledge in the areas of pricing, organization and positioning for agencies is excellent. He is a cordial host and pleasant conversational partner at his seminars. I can definitely recommend Markus and his offer.

For me, Markus is always an eye opener;

Markus has a good manner and conveys his topics with passion. I was able to learn a lot about both pricing and entrepreneurship and have not only implemented a lot of things, but also celebrated successes with them. The community he has built is also great, very helpful and collegial. I can only recommend it!

We started working with Mr. Hartmann as an agency about two years ago. What was originally intended as a comparison or as an aid in pricing quickly established itself as a method of thinking among almost all of our employees. The common phrase we use almost several times a week is "What would Hartmann ask/say? A corrective that helps us to focus on what our customers really want to pay us for. By not selling services and instruments, but by identifying the real issues and problems behind the problems and requests for offers with customers - the real levers. The result: we can be even more successful for our clients than we already were, have more fun and fees that are based on what we actually achieve for our clients. For our work, hiring Markus Hartmann as a consultant was one of the most correct and important decisions in recent years. A pleasant side effect: Even though I said method earlier, he is not selling a concept. Rather, it is a simple and concise guide to reflection. 90 percent transfer to everyday life (something I hardly know from other training courses) + concentration on the essentials. Hartmann helps to disentangle perspectives obscured by New Word phrases and to focus on the meaning of the work. Not in the sense of Purpose, but the sole purpose of existence of most ventures - to deliver added value to those companies/customers who pay (us) for it. Thank you Markus!
