Mindset covers tactics
Some of pricing is tactical:
Using tiers for ongoing monthly services
Using a flat rate for productized services
Leveraging pricing curves to nudge buyer choice
Anchoring high and listing prices in descending order
…
Some of pricing is mindset:
“I haven’t raised his price in 20 years and I think he’ll feel betrayed”
“I’m worried my clients will leave”
“I feel guilty; I know higher prices will be a burden for some clients”
“These were my very first clients; they helped me get my practice off the ground”
“But tax returns are so easy; I feel guilty charging that much”
“They’re going to think I’ve gotten too big for my britches”
“I would never pay that much this”
…
Tactical pricing information is helpful, but it’s unlikely to be implemented when pricing mindset issues are in the way.
Like paper covers rock, mindset covers tactics.
…
Consider putting your thoughts about new prices onto paper for an objective review.
