The premise of today’s podcast is about the book I hope to write someday called The Magic of Pricing Big: The Simple Secret to Getting Paid What You're REALLY Worth!

I share a few of these strategies with you and how they can help you with your pricing going into 2021. 

Two key concepts include: 
  1. to think BIG when it comes to your value, pricing and get your mindset right, otherwise the higher fees, bigger contracts will never come.

  2. is using the power of anchoring BIG dropping Anchor bombs in conjunction with price options in your pricing strategy for your products and services.

Price is Not Tied to Your Services and Why This is Preventing You From Getting the Rates You Deserve!

7/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture


Contrary to popular belief, the price you charge for your products and services is NOT tied together!.......This may be one of the main reasons you’re not charging those higher tier rates that you know you deserve.
This comes from one of my favorite books by Dan S. Kennedy called No B.S. Marketing to the Affluent. 
It's called this the Price-Product Link and how restrictive this is in getting those higher tier rates and engagements. 
Price is not tied to your product or service and as soon as you disconnect those two things in your own mind about your own products and services, you’ll be liberated to make a great deal more money and to have much greater success appealing to affluent customers or clients.
