Let me start by saying, if you do struggle, you’re not alone. Most people, even bigger businesses, struggle with pricing. ​At the least, they don’t understand how they can optimize their pricing. ​How to get it​ working for ​them, rather than against. ​Pricing has an enormous impact on your ​business’ long term profitability business.

​Knowing the Struggle

​Often when clients come to me they say, “I’m struggling with pricing. I don’t know what to charge.” ​When we ​​dig a deeper, we discover that​ there’s more behind these statements. ​For example it’s common ​for people to think ​pricing is hard because they ​they get stuck trying to set the price. ​In fact, what’s holding them back is​ their core beliefs​. 

​They feel an internal tension around ​​the thought of setting prices. Often they don’t even realize what’s happening. ​Once they do set a price they feel uncertain ​it and they aren’t able to communicate ​it confidently. ​Sometimes they even​ find themselves hesitant to put the prices in the market.  

​Sometimes they believe ​they’re too expensive. ​In fact, it’s ​often that ​the target customers don’t understand the value. They need to communicate the value in a different way. ​Customers care first about what’s in it for them. To communicate value ​focus on the quantifiable benefits. Forget the functions and features. Talk the quantifiable benefits those functions and features bring the customer. ​

If you’re a​ service-based businesses ​STOP telling people what you do. Focus on getting them to understand what the benefits are.​

​Focus on Improvements

Once you know where you struggle with pricing the most, then ​get started on doing it better. Sometimes it’s something simple, the “low hanging fruit”. ​​Small adjustments will get you started. Other times it’ll take a bit more doing. What’s important is to just, ​GET STARTED. It’ll help you build your intuition and confidence. AND you’ll start bringing more profit into your business. ​​ As you already know a profit mindset makes you smart, not greedy.
