Here’s an exercise for you:
People are often afraid to be expensive and get stuck on a number that feels right.
What you should be doing instead is keep increasing your price in enough demos and negotiations until you find the level where true resistance is met.
“Hey Phill, this sounds awesome. Everything is great but for that price, no way!”
You must hear that 5-10 times before you know that your pricing can’t be increased.
That’s how you know the true value of your solution.
Also, by doing this exercise, you learn that deals are NOT LOST because of pricing
They are lost because:
At ComX, we learned that changing the way we invoice had a higher impact than changing the price.
Since we started out we had at least 12 iterations on that.
