Episode Synopsis

Send us a textPricing is a much undervalued business topic. It has a bigger impact on your profit than anything else in your business – yet if you’re like most people you don’t often give it much attention. Studies show time and again that of the four profit levers (price, volume, fixed costs and variable costs), price has the most impact on profit. Yes a bigger impact than your costs. This surprises most people. And it’s counter to how they are working.Consider for a moment what most businesses do when profits start falling? That’s right they start reducing costs. But if you understood that your prices have a bigger influence on your profit wouldn’t you also give your at least the same attention you do costs?Of course you would, put that why it’d be silly not to. Logically it makes sense but that’s not what you’re doing.And if you’re a new business, failing to give pricing your time and energy will make it harder for you to get your business engine running (i.e. build profitability) and achieve your business objectives. t also makes it hard for you to tell the “Profit Story” of your business to investors, potential business partners and other interested in working with you.The good thing is that most pricing mistakes are avoidable.
