A small tip to standing out


Reality is —and this work in your favor— that the bar is SO low.

Most of the businesses in your industry and in your market claim they have great service, "experience" (wtf is it anyways?), solutions. Yet when things go South, they do a little bit less of the bare minimum.

You doing a little bit over, makes you stand out.

Know why?

Because clients don't care about the bare minimum. They care that they're taken care of. That they're understood. And there's action behind the words.

When you do this, even in times of crisis, with them having a problem and you're still trying to solve it, they'll want to do MORE business with you.

And that's the kind of clients you want.

The right market for a productYou develop a product and now have to find which need it satisfies. Both are valid ways. The journeys will be different. The focus, the...

Pricing is how a business sets a price for an offer. It can be based on costs, marked up on a market assumption, based on the capital invested, on the market standard price, on how much it's worth to the customer compared to their gains. There's no right or wrong way to establish prices. However, there are ones that are less controllable (on external factors), and ones that leverage the profitability of your margins (I tend to go for this last one).
