Ever heard the saying How to get more milk from a cow while spending less on food? – By feeding it less and milking it more often?

It’s not just a quirky saying; it encapsulates a profound lesson on business efficiency vs. wisdom.

Picture this: a seasoned business owner in Russia, $50 million on the line, and a consultancy’s advice that seemed like the golden ticket. Fast forward 18 months, and it’s a tale of huge losses, learning, and a triumphant return to basics that saved the business from the brink.

This isn’t just a story about cows or even about a business far away in Russia. It’s about how you chase higher profits. It’s about focusing on the right balance between cutting costs and nurturing growth, between modern methods and timeless wisdom.

Read on to discover what cows (yes, cows!) can teach us about profit margins.

Learn the critical importance of investing in professional expertise, especially for complex and crucial tasks such as VAT reporting and accounting.

Yesterday’s workshop was a game-changer for those looking to master pricing strategies and accelerate business growth. Missed it? Let me share three key takeaways that are revolutionising the way we think about pricing:

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: It’s not about the cost of delivery or hours worked but charging for the transformative value your service provides. This approach significantly boosts sales and positions your business as a pivotal part of your customer’s success.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀: Presenting clients with options, especially using Susan’s “magic number”, not only empowers them but also increases the appeal and satisfaction of your service.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲: What your prices say about your business matters. Proper pricing strategies can dramatically influence client perception and make your offers irresistible.

Implementing these strategies, Susan’s clients see remarkable results, converting proposals at an 80-85% rate and enjoying peace of mind in their business operations.

Ever faced a client demanding you justify a price increase?

Sally did, and instead of listing her qualifications or how hard she worked, she highlighted the tangible impact of her services:

“In our last 3 years together, you’ve doubled your revenues, thanks to my solutions. If we are to continue, this is the fee you’ll invest.”

This shift in approach, inspired by Susan Triver’s Impact Based Pricing, emphasises value over credentials. It’s a game-changer, enabling business owners to convert 80-85% of proposals.

Learn this principle at our Online Pricing Mastery and Business Acceleration Mastermind. Don’t miss out, especially if you’re in knowledge-based services.

Ever faced the frustration of crafting detailed business proposals only to be met with silence or unreasonable discount requests?

Samantha’s experience, likening it to preparing a gourmet meal only to be asked to price it as a bag of Doritoes, resonates with many of us.

It’s a common challenge that often leads to questioning our pricing strategies.

This struggle inspired a quest for a solution, leading to the creation of an innovative mastermind session focused on Impact Based Pricing with Susan Trivers.

With clients converting up to 85% of proposals into engagements, it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their pricing strategy and ensure their services are rightly valued. Ready to transform your approach and minimize those frustrating encounters? Discover how.
