The best way to fight the pricing war is by not retaliating on price. @IamJohnsonEmma on #InnovaBuzz podcast Click To TweetShow Notes from this episode with Johnson Emmanuel of Havanzer
Key points and takeaways from this episode include:
- Marketing is an investment, not an expense.
- Every business has different needs depending on where it’s at.
- Make sure that you can actually help your clients to get the results that they need.
- The best way to fight the pricing war is by not retaliating on price.
- Don’t say no to your market, if your market isn’t saying no to you. If you believe nobody is going to pay your high-ticket offer, that is just you and not your market that is saying so.
- People will pay for transformation. If you believe that what you are selling is truly going to be useful and will provide results, people will pay for it.
- People struggle to pay for commodities. Your job is to move your product or service from being a mere commodity into a transformational product.
- Raising your price allows you to win over your competitors.
- You have a choice. You can decide to sell to 70% of people who want to buy stuff for less than $100, and you can decide to sell to 27% of people who are willing to spend $500, or you can decide to sell to 3% of people who don’t care about pricing because they value their time over money.
- You’ll keep on having price resistance if you always think about people who value money over time.
- Create a killer offer and start selling that to people who are at the top of the pyramid going down, instead of starting from the bottom of the pyramid going up.
- Your pricing model is just as important as any other aspect of your business.
- Look at what your competitors are offering and deliver 10x more of what they are giving to their market.
- Sales calls are just meant to collect money from people and nothing else. Instead of doing a sales call, do a customised strategy session instead with your customers for free. Let them know how you can truly help them in such a way that even if they don’t become your customer, they will leave feeling satisfied and recommend you to other people.
- Go after 4% of your market that brings 96% of your revenue.
- Start by getting really clear on the type of business you want to build. Once you know that, you can then identify who you want to serve.
- Look for a market that is affluent enough. Go to people who are small but big enough to pay and sustain your business.
