Finally lawyers who get it
We do not charge by the hour. We do not charge you
when you pick up the phone or send you an email. We
do not charge you for taking you to lunch or travel time
or any of that kind of stuff this is disconnected from the
real value of what we do. We invest in long term
relationships with our clients, and we measure the
value of our services in the same way that you do. We
have a lot to offer, and we provide it in the a way that
doesn’t hurt. That’s a small part of the Marque
difference.
How do other industries
value price?
16
17
Where do you start?
The act of modifying something, such as
a concept or a tool internal to an
organization, to make it suitable as a
commercial product.
Productize your services
Start by picking the one service that is a
combination of most in demand by
clients (their biggest problem) most
profitable for you and the easiest to
deliver. This will have the best chance of
the overused phrase product/market fit
and you will likely need to iterate your
products and packages several times
with each potential customer interaction.
– Richard Patey, Founder: Profit Is Good
21
When researching companies that sell services like a
product, I’ve found there are 3 basic methods:
Foot-in-the-door offer (e-book, courses)
One-time product / adhoc work
Monthly subscription / Fixed agreement
Different ways to productize your services
22
Break your services into product packages
Base this on the scope of work you do for them
23
24
Next steps…
Let’s implement value pricing
The fundamental aspect of value pricing is that it’s
based on value. This means it’s imperative for
anybody wanting to value price, must start with a
value conversation. If there is no attempt (or little
attempt) at a value conversation then you are not
value pricing but rather just increasing prices.
Andrew Robertson – Decision HQ
27
Price sensitivity is A myth
Your clients are value sensitive
Step 1.
Review your revenue streams
What did we learn?
Are you making enough money?
What is your most common service?
What’s your average fee per client?
What could be bundled together?
Bundle all of this information together
Step 2.
Move your most suitable clients to fixed
fee or value pricing agreements
32
Source: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly of the Australian Accounting Profession, Rates & Pricing Outlook 2017
The people you do business with, most
are going to be your best fit clients for
monthly / fixed value packages
Value Pricing is determined by the fixed
scope of work agreed upon by both
parties.
You need to be very specific about what
that scope is and anything outside of
that scope would fall under another
priced agreement.
35
Step 3.
Identify and create your pricing strategy
Decide upon what is your ideal pricing
plan. Go ahead and create your packages,
ensuring that your ideal plan looks more
valuable then the lesser plans.
38
Step 4.
Practice, practice, practice……
Much can often be learned by
the repetition under different
conditions, even if the
desired result is not obtained.
– Archer John Porter Martin
1952 Nobel Prize Winner: Chemistry
