How to price their offering is a common question that entrepreneurs need to answer when prospects first start to ask, “This looks great, how much does it cost?” Mark Stiving, an expert on pricing technology products, joins us as a featured attendee. He will take us through an interactive exercise where each attendee can identify the problem they are addressing, the solution they offer, the results it delivers, and the value of these results compared to the prospect’s current alternatives.

If you are currently wrestling with pricing issues or getting pushback from your prospects over the value that your offering delivers compared to the price, please join us to walk through your situation and get some insights from Mark Stiving.

OK, here’s the spoiler. These two powerful decisions are:
1. always use value based pricing and
2. adopt price segmentation.

In this webinar, you will learn what, why, and some how on both of these. What these concepts truly mean. Why they are so powerful you should internalize them in your company regardless of company size. And a little bit of how to implement them.
