Last week, we talked about economic value and how businesses are able to calculate how much money are they going to make or save based on buying and using your product or solution.
Sadly, consumers can't do that in almost all situations.
I love this one blue shirt I get from Brooks Brothers but there's no way to calculate how much money that shirt makes me or saves me. Instead, it's a feeling I get. It's the fact that I've gotten compliments when I've worn that shirt. So, I have a willingness to pay for that shirt over other shirts. I value it more than I value other shirts.
The only way I can think of to measure the amount of value is based on my willingness to pay. And this is true with our clients as well. When we start thinking about how much does a customer or a consumer value our products, we probably need to be thinking in terms of willingness to pay.
We hope you enjoyed this memecast. This impactful insight came from the book, Selling Value, which I wrote to help salespeople win more deals at higher prices. If you have any questions or feedback, please email me mark@impactpricing.com.
