What if they both had fixed prices... and you could have the answer now (Joe) or in a few weeks (Will)? [Notice that "few weeks" is more than a month.] It's a game-changer for your business —think of it as THE thing that will put you in the stratosphere of your field. Which one would be YOUR choice? |

More often than not, there is a big focus on revenue as the thing to measure (success, growth, improvement). All of this nonsense of "Orders. Orders. Orders." The thing is, to someone new into a business or sales, this misbelief is misleading. Instead of seeing revenue as a proof of concept and an enabler of cash flow, they see it as the end. And then fail. On top of that "Orders, orders, orders." hides something unintendedly: you get to be an order-taker. Taking orders. Following orders....
Choosing revenue means choosing vanity. It means that what's important is what goes into the business. The today, rather than the long game. It dilutes the way you make decisions, because it's revenue over all. It dilutes your power to say no. It pushes you to comply with what your customer demands. And when revenue is not hitting the mark, you stench of desperation. So you get pushed down. To what they say. In fear. Revenue is not all.
The price you set is not a reflection of you. The price you set is not a reflection of your worth. It's not a reflection of your effort. It's not a reflection of your passion. It's not a reflection of yourself. You're not your price. You're not a brand.
