Episode 62 | Live with the Pricing Lady (Thursdays 15.00 CET)
Small businesses spend way too much time and energy trying to lower prices andnot nearly enough finding ways to get better prices. Even when they know their prices should be higher they’re often afraid of raising them and instead do nothing.
There’s nothing to fear when you know what to do and how. The trick is to pour on the value.

The reality is there are many ways to get better prices in your business and to achieve it without upsetting customers. Sometimes upsetting customer isn’t a bad thing either.
