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. :)

It's pretty clear on a lot of replies to yesterday's email that under delivering is not the best option of them 3 (under delivering, delivering, over delivering). That's great. And even with that, you'd be surprised at how often a large portion of players in the market do under deliver. The bar is SO low that by doing a decent bare minimum, you kinda get away with it. If it's that obvious to you, what do you think make other businesses not deliver on their promise?

You made your promise to your customer (aka value proposition). Delivering it is as important as making it. Which one do you think is best? Under-deliver Deliver Over-deliver

"Every customer is important." It's not. If you had only 4 hours to have face-to-face conversations that define the future of your business, who would be these customers you'd have those 1:1? Physically, you can't do it with all of them. Who would you choose? In your gut, you already know. Just as you know the ones who are not. Focus. It's all about choosing. Choose wisely.
