How to Present Value Over Price In Your Contracting Business Dave Negri 272

How to Present Value Over Price In Your Contracting Business and what is really the perceived value as opposed to your pricing structure and how that affects your profitability. I’m going through a checklist that will help you raise the perceived value of your business so that you can charge more. Making more profit at the time of sales and how to do that effectively, because if your customers don’t know the additional things that you have for sale, you’re both missing the boat. What are your other services how do you present them to your customers?

Selling value is a way of positioning your company in all of your marketing. Make sure you provide a value proposition on the services you provide and why you’re different than any other contractor in your trade or niche. Using a funnel of great marketing to attract clients like this is the way to go. Basically, you are preparing them with information in the form of a recorded message or report. It really doesn’t matter what your competition is charging because if you set yourself apart from them as a value base business as opposed to price, your way ahead of the game and you’re going to leave your competition in the dust.

With the value building system from this checklist, I’m going to give you a few secrets then you will attract clients that are used to paying a premium for real value. So in reality, raising the bar on perceived value teaches you that value is everything.

Here are a few ways that you can go after your customer by raising the perceived value your customer has of your company. Some of these are pretty simple and you may be doing some these right now. If you are great! But some of these you may have never even considered doing so pay attention, I will go to this list fairly quickly.

1. Makes sure your vehicle and your equipment are in pristine shape. Be clean and organized because you’re making an impression on your new clients and it needs to be a good one.

2.Make sure that you, your technicians and your helpers are well groomed and well dressed.

3. Offer a courtesy call if you’re running behind. This shows you are cognizant of your prospect or customer’s time, that it’s valuable and the only thing that cannot be replaced.
4. Answering the phone when it rings and not let it go to voicemail whenever possible. People are calling for a reason and when they want to talk to you and they want to know about your services.
5. 5. Next, if you have a website for your business make sure as a modern look and feel to it. It’s your face in the marketplace.
6. Be aware of what your customers want, research and find out how you can give those to your customer or make them available for them because today’s consumer is very well educated.
7. 7. Educate your prospects and your customers about all the service you provide and why they can trust you. The key is education.
8. 8. When you’re going into some one’s home always clean up after yourself, sweep, vacuum and put things away. Always make it better than when you got there.
9. Another important thing is to leave a sheet of some aftercare things that you might do. Little things like that which no one else does set your company apart and are another thing that shows your professionalism.
10. 10. Another thing you might consider that sets you apart from your competition and puts you out front as the leader in your marketplace is to have your workers wear booties.
11. 11. Using drop clothes when you can. I’ll sometimes be painting and will run a drop cloth through the house to the place we are painting so that we are done we just roll up and clean up as we go.

These are just some things that will help you increase profits during your busy season. If you can get all this in place now, you just might now might just have your most profitable slow season ever.
