Your value is not important


Value pricing.

There's a big misconception with it.

It has nothing to do with your value —or how you perceive your own value, or how your customers have to understand what you sell to show them how you justify your prices.

Or how much effort you put into it.

Or how cool you are.

Or how great your work is.

None of it.

Take yourself out of the picture.

Value pricing has to do with what your customer values —what they believe is important.

Value pricing takes this factor and prices in alignment with it.

What you think you're worth, what effort you put to justify your prices, how you value yourself —while important in a specific setting in your business— has nothing to do with what your customers value.

And how do you get to know the value?

You don't guess.

You ask. :)

Here are a few themes that are recurring in the small/medium business I see. Which ones do you feel you resonate with? You're struggling with getting your sales to be better. The market is highly competitive. You're pushed to play on (the lowest) price. You can't say No to customers. That's losing business (and stupid). If you say No to a customer, you're losing opportunities. Your competition is poaching your customers. Your revenue goals are not where you want them, despite everything...

What do you do after 2 years of... writing daily emails? You keep writing. You revise what you thought and wrote. You do an inventory of the common subjects. You think clearer. And deciding where to focus is like a revelation. What's the YOU from 2 years ago that would benefit from the YOU from now? What would you tell them?

Seeing everywhere "Need to set strategic goals" feels a lot like an obvious thing. Just like saying "we need wet water" If goals are not strategic, what are they? 🤷
