You're undercharging because the discovery call feels awkward in English.
Confident English on the call closes the project at your real rate. Practise with real native speakers, on demand.

You are good at what you do. The portfolio is solid. The work is high-quality. Past clients have said so in writing.
You charge $30 an hour. Your American competitors charge $80. The work is the same. The difference is that on the discovery call, they sound certain. They push back on scope creep. They name a number and hold it. You explain your work clearly until the client asks "so what's the rate" and your voice tightens. You quote $30, hoping they'll say yes. They usually do, because $30 is a steal.
This is the gap. Not your skill. Not even your English fluency in the abstract. The specific real-time confidence in a call where money is on the table. The ability to hold a silence after you've named your price. The ability to say "that's outside the scope we agreed" without softening it into "maybe we could perhaps consider".
The economics of this gap are brutal. If you raised your rate from $30 to $50 an hour, you'd earn 67% more for the same work. The only thing standing between you and that rate is how you sound on the call. Not your portfolio, not your delivery, not your skill. The call.
You have probably already tried the obvious things. Watched English YouTube. Used Duolingo. Maybe paid for an AI English app like Speak. None of it was bad. None of it fixed the call problem.
The reason: client calls happen in real time, with humans who are also assessing whether you're worth the rate. You can't train the confidence to hold a price by talking to an AI that agrees with everything you say. You can only train it by speaking to real people, regularly, until the words come without thinking and the pauses don't feel like ground opening under you.
That is what we are building.
What we’re building
Cambiyo
You open the app. You see who is online right now. You filter by accent (American is most useful for US clients; British, Australian, Irish for those markets). You see ratings, prices, profiles. You pick someone. You start talking.
Speakers set their own prices, starting from $5 per hour. You pay only for the time you spend talking. No subscription. No booking.
Every speaker is checked before they go live. They send a video selfie. We check their face, accent, and country. Anyone fake doesn't get on the platform.
They are not freelance coaches or business mentors. They are real native English speakers (students, freelancers, retirees, anyone fluent in English who wants to earn from a conversation). Some are freelancers themselves. Many aren't. That's not a problem because what you need is not another business mentor. What you need is regular real conversation practice with someone who isn't going to wait for you to find the right word.
Some speakers will play a client if you ask. You can run mock discovery calls, mock pricing conversations, mock scope discussions. Tell them what you want and they'll do it. The point is you saying the words you'd say in a real call, out loud, with a real human responding in real time.
What practice looks like
It's 8am where you live. You have a discovery call at 10am with a US client who reached out on LinkedIn. Jake from California is online. You spend 25 minutes talking with him about your weekend, your work, the project you'll be pitching later. By the time the call starts at 10, you're already in English mode. You quote your real rate. The client says yes.
It's a slow Tuesday. No client calls today. You spend an hour with Sarah running a mock pricing conversation. She plays a client who pushes back on your rate. You practise the answers: holding the price, explaining the value, walking away from a bad fit. You'll need these answers next week.
It's the night before a renewal conversation with a long-term client who you've been undercharging since you started working with them. Claire is online. You spend an hour role-playing the conversation. The first few times you stumble. By the end of the hour, you can name your new rate without your voice changing.
The renewal conversation goes differently than you expected. The client agrees to the new rate. The next discovery call closes at full rate. The next month's invoices add up to more than the previous three combined.
You stop being held back by something you can fix.
