Pricing and the value of your services/products

What are your prices and the value-add’s in your business?
When a potential client or referral alliance doesn’t know the price of a service or product the assumption can be that it is expensive. Although this is only a relative term this assumption can often stop potential clients contacting you or your referral sources (group members) from referring you.

The other key reason it’s important we know where you are priced in the market is that you don’t want to be receiving referrals from people who don’t have the budget to buy from you.

At your next meeting I invite you to share with your group what your prices are AND how you add value to the service/products you offer clients. Read more

WIFM: Why do your clients buy from you?

Share what’s In It for me? What are the benefits your customer receives from purchasing from you?

Working with a mentor client last week I had an insight about what marketing really is. If you put aside all of the jargon, fancy strategies and expensive advertising campaigns I think that what marketing is about, is communicating to your potential customers ‘What’s in it for me?’(WIFM). When we go buy something we want to know the answer to this simple yet powerful question:

“What’s in it for me?’

Tell me. Why I should buy from you? What benefit will I receive from purchasing what you’re selling? How will my life be better after using your service or product?

THIS MEETINGS TOPIC: Share what’s In It for me? What are the benefits of buying from you?

Are you sure you want to rely on your prospects and customers to guess what the benefits of purchasing from you are? Be smart with your marketing and clearly and simply communicate how they will benefit from the purchase.

Not sure what the benefits of using your service or product are? Read on…. Read more
