The power of value-based pricing in sales…w/ Mark Stiving Ph.D.
Listen in as Mark H. and Mark S. dissect why many salespeople struggle to hit their target prices. It's not about the product itself, but the value it represents to customers.
Discover the psychological intricacies behind product pricing and how it shapes consumer perception of value. Understand why customers often gravitate towards mid-tier priced items and how sales and marketing teams must convey the value proposition to guide informed purchasing decisions.



❓Key Questions Answered❓
 
What are some ideas we could use as salespeople to help us understand what that problem is?
If I see a price and it's cheap, do I automatically perceive that the value is cheap? If I see a different product with a more expensive price, do I automatically associate more value?
Do people use price comparison to figure out what they want to buy? 
“I'm going to discount the initial sale and then I'll make it up later.” Does that hold water?
If you had one piece of advice, you would tell the companies right now, in terms of maximizing price?
