Listen "Pricing, Perception & the Power of Story: Thriving as a Premium Clinical Pilates Studio "
Episode Synopsis
Is your pricing strategy built on fear..... or on the real value of your offer? This episode reveals how clinical Pilates studios can confidently charge what they’re worth: by connecting with the right clients via the right story. In Part 2 of the David and Goliath series, I continue my high-impact conversation with international business coach Craig Maginness. This episode explores pricing psychology, brand perception, and how your value proposition is defined by the story your ideal client believes, because of their unique experiences and perspective. Craig shares real-world experiences from acupuncture clinics to bottled water aisles, to show why differentiation, not imitation, creates pricing power and sustainable growth for clinical Pilates studios. 💡 What You’ll Learn ✔️ Why pricing should reflect your unique value, not your competitors' fees ✔️ How your brand story shapes client perception and drives referrals ✔️ The difference between value creation and cost control (and why it matters) ✔️ Real-world analogies (Prius vs Hummer, bottled water brands) to simplify pricing psychology ✔️ How authentic Google reviews can amplify your studio’s emotional resonance and client trust By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to build a pricing strategy that’s rooted in what makes your business truly irreplaceable.
