Re: Myths in Pricing for Professional Services
I think of my own psychology when pricing against competition.
"Its twice the price, it must be twice as good"
It makes no sense, I have nothing to base it on, but its how I think, that means many others must think this way too.
Its tied into
" You get what you pay for"
Most of us have had at least a couple of bad experiences with the cheap end of town so instinctively discount the cheapest price (unless its a commodity)
Yet there are so many scurrying to be the cheapest in town, turnover does not equal profit and I dont see why anyone would want to be the cheapest, its way too much work and unless you are really know what you are doing, a quick way to go bankrupt.
Its a conundrum, to be really cheap, you have to be among the best most ruthless in whatever business you are in.
I want to pay myself and my employees good wages, if you are the cheapest you are always going to be screwing someone over something and thats not for me.
