Costs don’t matter
|
Yeah, they do matter, but not necessarily when pricing. If they did (costs), the price of any SaaS would need to be near to zero, since the cost is marginal because it's scaled up. If they did, the price for a flight ticket would need to be lower the fuller the plane is. Flights get all of their costs covered at a certain quantity of tickets sold (and that’s less than 30% of the seats). Hotel rooms would have to be almost given for free the closer to the end of hotel-day or when they’re getting over X number of rooms sold. Yet, they get more expensive. Restaurants and bars would have to give food away and/or tons of complimentaries, since their drinks are 400%+ in price compared to their costs. Or are you paying for something else? |

The more you talk: The less you show. The less you listen. The less you understand. Stop coming up with all of the answers. Instead, come up with the right questions.
What if they copy what we have? Yeah. What if? And if so, what about it? They can copy numbers, codes, functionalities, prices, talking points, scripts. And so what? All of it can be copied. Easily. You know what they can't? Or at least is way way WAY harder? Your logic and your thinking. Your approach to the problem. Stop with the fear of "what if". Open it up. Make it punk public Autocorrect worked. :)
Look, to someone who you seem to be expensive, you'll still be expensive. No matter what you say or how you try to justify your prices. No matter what you do to try to convince them, you will NOT. And that's ok. Because convincing is the act of changing their minds on what they belief. To convince.- v. to cause someone to believe something or to do something. That is taking the agency away from them. It's a zero-sum game. A battle. It's you proving them wrong. That you are at a higher level,...
