Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   So in our pricing strategy we need to have our Up strategy. A premium strategy that’s turn key that comes with a premium price.

But it’s got to be at least twenty-five to thirty-five percent higher than your core offering. Now I don’t know how many of you remember 1985...

The Client Picked You Because You Are the Best Option Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO - just a little over a minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. They're not going to pay a whole bunch of money on the off chance you're good. They're going to think you're really good already.  They're going to think and by the way, if you fire them,  guess what they lose you and they think you're the best option, right? That's why I was in a position one time in my landscaping company where I was in a position where I had to give back the guarantee, but if I gave him back the...

Consumers Categorize Themselves by The Pricing They Pick Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO.  Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Wouldn't it be nice to know and be able to categorize your clients based on their pricing? So I offer a success fee option and I offer a retainer option. Remember I said before that if the industry's sideways you gotta give something for free and you gotta bundle, right? And you say, well how am I gonna know where the industry is? You're not.  You're gonna offer a menu of pricing and you're...

Invisible Pricing - Need a Better Offer  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO.  Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. A year, that means you're one in 600 people. That is 10 million or more, and we need to walk into a building that has 12,000 people in it to meet a peer. What we do is not easy, right? So you're doing all of this work only to price yourself to where you're invisible. That's got to change. It is unacceptable to me that you sit down with a client, you're as knowledgeable as you are, you teach them everything they...

 Consumers Value an Expert  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO.  Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And so here's what I learned. What I learned was if people value what you do, if they really value what they do, and  if they have a need, they want to go with an expert. I had built the reputation of the guy who came in and would bang out a job and get the heck out of there. And we demanded that we had access to your property from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Really? Like you're going to be at my house on...

What kind of buyer buys the guarantee? What about that buyer buys the guarantee? They really need it. They're under some sort of distress. What else? They got the money.

When the Market is Going Down

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

You just lost your job, or someone you know lost their job. So, just to stock up while they're gonna be unemployed, they go out and buy a new car, stop at Best Buy, pick up a new TV, and then stop at another store and load up on all brand new clothes. And they come home, and they say, look, I was just thinking ahead. Oh yeah, oh by the way, just lost my job. So I bought a new car, I bought some appliances, and I bought clothes. What would you tell that person? Or besides getting out, I was thinking of bringing it back, but get out, okay, all right. Bring it back, get out, get this stuff out of here. What were you thinking, right? But what if you said, hey, so you know, I know I just lost my job, it's gonna be some time. But you know what, there's a club where we can make, we just pay a small membership fee and we can take advantage of economies of scale and bulk purchasing.  So I thought I would do that during that time.

Which one sounds like a more reasonable purchase?  The club, and that's why they're so popular, okay. So we need to have some sort of bundle, a freemium and a premium. You guys good with that?
