Justify Your Pricing

We all want to charge a premium for our work, but to do so, you must definitely be able to answer this one question:

The Ultimate Pricing Question:
“Why should I buy from you over any other business offering similar security services?” 

If you don’t have the answer for this question, you better get it!

Some advice…
Go to the drawing board and determine what you are providing for the money. Do you have a better deal to offer? If not, then work on IMPROVING what you’re offering. Make it worth more based on what customers want, NOT what you think is valuable (a critical point...don’t miss it).  

If you discover that you are providing more value than your competitors, then work at learning how to communicate that value. Many companies way over-deliver, and undercharge for their services.

Stand up and ask for the $$$ you deserve!

Find a Niche & Own It!
Finding a niche in your industry. Customize your services to solving the key problems and wants of that niche. Position yourself as the Expert in that niche and approach the market that way. You can say goodbye to the pricing terrorist for good!

And remember, not everybody buys on price alone...

Would you want the cheapest eye surgeon doing your Lasik surgery?

The last time you bought a car, was it based solely on the cheapest car you could find?

Do you want to use the cheapest, lowest-wage workers? If you do, you’re an idiot, and yes, the world has its fair share of them. 

Of course, price is a decision point. No matter what your price point is, you still need to make “SOME JUSTIFICATION” for what you charge.

BUT if you’re positioned as 'The Expert' in a given niche, that IS your justification.

Go Beyond the Numbers to Unveil the Stories Data Tells

Numbers, by themselves, are inert. They are mere digits, devoid of context or meaning. To truly understand the story they hold, we must go beyond the raw data and enter into the narrative it reveals. This requires a nuanced approach, one that goes beyond simply presenting the figures and instead seeks to illuminate the insights they offer. The first step in interpreting data is to identify the surprises it presents. What findings defy expectations? What appears counter-intuitive? These unexpected insights often hold the key to understanding the deeper implications of the data. For instance, if a study reveals a surprising correlation between two seemingly unrelated factors, it prompts us to question our assumptions and explore the underlying mechanisms at play. When comparing multiple datasets, it is crucial to highlight both similarities and disparities. By drawing attention to the points of convergence and divergence, we gain a richer understanding of the overall picture. For example...

The Quest for Impact in Consumer Decisions Goes Beyond Price

It’s a common misconception that price is the sole driver of purchasing decisions. While cost certainly plays a role, a more in-depth understanding of consumer psychology reveals a more nuanced reality. Google’s Head of Research, Justin De Graaf, sheds light on this complexity by identifying six distinct attitudes that online searchers exhibit: Help me: This attitude reflects a need for practical assistance and problem-solving. Reassure me: This attitude signifies a desire for confidence and validation in a purchase. Educate me: This attitude indicates a thirst for knowledge and understanding about a product or service. Surprise me: This attitude represents a yearning for novelty and unexpected experiences. Impress me: This attitude signifies a desire for status and recognition associated with a purchase. Thrill me: This attitude reflects a craving for excitement and emotional engagement. It’s the last three attitudes, Surprise me, Impress me, and Thrill me, that hold the key to unders...
