✦Offers and the Value Ladder

Pricing Your Offer

Set prices by the value of the result, not by your hours or your costs.

Price follows value. Buyers compare your price with the cost of their problem and the value of the result. If your offer saves them thousands, a few hundred feels fair.

Charging less does not help your client. It often means lower quality work and less commitment from them.

Do it step by step

  1. Estimate what the problem costs the buyer each month or year.
  2. Estimate the value of the result.
  3. Set a price that is a small fraction of that value.
  4. Offer a payment plan to make the first step easier.
