Slide 59

Slide 59 text

Value based pricing focuses on the destination, not the road.

Slide 60

Slide 60 text

When our focus is correct, the risk that we'll fail to solve the business problem(s) at hand is lower.

Slide 61

Slide 61 text

And when we can clearly communicate that we know what's at stake and we know what that goal is, we’re perceived as low risk.

Slide 62

Slide 62 text

Clients want to hire someone who knows their business, its needs, and has the technical knowhow to get from today to tomorrow OVER the person who is merely adept at coding.

Slide 63

Slide 63 text

If a client think there's a 50% chance that a project will fail (e.g. a website redesign won't result in more customers) and is quoted $50k, the true cost is $75k after self-insuring for failure.

Slide 64

Slide 64 text

Reduce perceived risk by aiming for the right target and helping your client get to that target faster and more efficiently, and you'll be able to charge more.

Slide 65

Slide 65 text

Value-based pricing means focusing on the client, not yourself, and pricing based on the expected outcome of a successful project completion via establishing a low risk profile.
