Pricing in a Pandemic
John Ray, Ray Business Advisors
In a pandemic-induced economic downturn full of uncertainty, how you handle your pricing can literally make or break your business. Even without today's rocky business conditions, most Professional Organizers agree that one of the biggest pain points in their business is pricing: not receiving an adequate price for the value delivered.
This presentation will cover:
- Why pricing is the most important profit driver of your business
- Why getting your pricing right is more important now than ever
- Why cutting prices is likely to more destroy your business, not save it
- Why the fundamental of how customers view your services have not changed
Table Topics, post-presentation
- What is my biggest pricing problem?
- What are the one or two concepts I can take away from this presentation to immediately improve my profitability?
