DL...that's actually not a bad idea. There was once a business man who was making a product but not selling too many. He decided to probe the market to find out why. He discovered that if he could make this wonderful, new, life-changing & ground-breaking product available for $500 he could sell far more than he thought possible!
So he went about creating a solution to figure out how to make that product available at a cost that would allow him to sell it at $500...and he did! And along with it changed the course of his product, an industry, impacted many other industries and the course of a nation. The product, solution and the person? Henry Ford, the assembly line and the Model "T" automobile.
Lowering the price to a more market-centric level can create substantially higher demand, and exponential revenue/profit.
Translation: If a woman is asking for a consulting fee of $500 an hour, and her services & packaging are appropriate, she will get it...sometimes. But if she were to seek $350 per hour of consulting, and her services and solutions were above the other service providers asking $300-$350, the former $500 provider would see a substantial increase in her revenue, by increasing her market availability AND by taking market share from others whose service/package combination don't bring the same "$500" value at $300-350.
The responses on threads regarding a person's fees are market feedback...she can choose to listen or ignore it. But if the time comes that she is not making the money she desires, she should ask "if I heard from 'X'-number of posters about my fees, how many thought the same thing and said nothing?"
And since this is an information exchange board...let's remember that people are simply sharing information.
Once that information is out there, it really comes down to two things:
1) Does this person want/need more business?
2) What kind of "car" do they want to be? There are lots of cars on the road, because some cars offer value that is worth more...and because as people...WALDT!
Just some things to think about...
