Profit Starts with Pricing on Purpose Ron Baker, Founder VeraSage Institute
“The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power. If you’ve got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you’ve got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by 10 percent, then you’ve got a terrible business.” - Warren Buffet
Innovate for growth. Price for Profit.
The default purpose of marketing is not to increase sales. It’s to increase profits.
Profit is a marketer’s ultimate objective. Profit is driven mostly by price. Price is driven mostly by brand perception. Brand perception is driven mostly by what agencies do for their clients. The value of agencies
Harvard Business Review “If Brands Are Built Over Years, Why Are They Managed Over Quarters?”  By Leonard Lodish and Carl Mela “Even campaigns that don’t do much  to boost sales can increase margins  by differentiating brands and thus allowing companies to raise prices.”
	What are your customers really buying? 	What are you really selling?
“The customer never buys a product. By definition the customer buys the satisfaction of a want. He buys value.” - Peter Drucker
The wrong practices: Time tracking software 	Paradigms drive practices The wrong theory: Time worked equals value created
The Subjective Theory of Value A Tale of Two Theories The Labor Theory of Value
Value created Value captured Value creation and capture Customer’s Gain Price Costs
Service     Cost     Price     Value    Customer Customer    Value     Price     Cost     Service Value-Based Pricing Cost-Plus Pricing
Seven Steps to Implementing Value Pricing
Implementing Value Pricing 1. Conversation with customer  Not: “What do you need?” But rather: “What are you trying to accomplish?”
Implementing Value Pricing 1. Conversation with customer  Listen > Talk Opening: “Mr. Customer, we will only undertake this engagement if we can agree, to our mutual satisfaction, that the value we are creating is greater than the price we are charging you. Is that acceptable?”
Implementing Value Pricing 2. Form a Value Council and appoint a CVO  Role of the Value Council Ensuring that the agency prices on purpose. Constructing and experimenting with various value-based compensation agreements.   Assuring continuous learning and teaching every team member the importance of pricing for value. Dealing with price objections from clients.
Implementing Value Pricing 2. Form a Value Council and appoint a CVO  Role of the Value Council (continued) Keeping the agency focused on tracking client results instead of agency inputs. Establishing client selection/deselection criteria.  Conducting “after action reviews” at the end of major assignments.
AAAA PRICING PRACTICES SURVEY CVO CFO = Pricing Costing
How often do agencies track the following?
Chief Compensation Officer Neal Grossman
	“We have as many compensation approaches as we do clients.” Jeff Hicks, CEO
	“All of our compensation agreements are experiments in value.” Carl Johnson, Partner
“We don’t believe we’re in the business of selling time.” John Minty Chief Value Officer
Value Council Ken Whyte, Glen Drummond, Bob Wilbur, Mandy Moote, Tony Mohr
“At innovation consultancy Fahrenheit 212, we put up to two-thirds of our potential revenue at risk, subject to achieving agreed commercial milestones on a project.”
Implementing Value Pricing 3. Determine the optimal pricing method (fixed, results, usage) Not: “What do you need?” But rather: “What are you trying to accomplish?”

Baker -- 4P Value Pricing

  • 1. Profit Starts with Pricing on Purpose Ron Baker, Founder VeraSage Institute
  • 2. “The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power. If you’ve got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you’ve got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by 10 percent, then you’ve got a terrible business.” - Warren Buffet
  • 3. Innovate for growth. Price for Profit.
  • 4. The default purpose of marketing is not to increase sales. It’s to increase profits.
  • 5. Profit is a marketer’s ultimate objective. Profit is driven mostly by price. Price is driven mostly by brand perception. Brand perception is driven mostly by what agencies do for their clients. The value of agencies

Editor's Notes

  1. This links back to our feeling of self-worth, our self-confidence.
  2. No one wants to hear about the labour pains they just want to see the baby; they just want to see the returns. Justify price by giving reasons like cost of labour increases, but the client doesn’t care as long as value is there. Price is only an issue in the absence of value. In our clients’ case, that value is provided to their clients in between transactions.
  3. It wasn’t until physicians became convinced of germ theory that they started finding ways to create sterile environments. First, they had to change their paradigm about what caused infections (until Joseph Lister came along in the 1870s, infections were thought to be caused by stale air); then they couldn’t help but change their practices (washing their hands, cleaning their instruments).
  4. If you focus more on the outputs, your client will focus less on the inputs
  5. Chiat/Day’s recently appointment of Neal Grossman as Chief Compensation Officer is designed to remedy this.
  6. And a few progressive midsize firms like Canadian agency Quarry Communications have formalized responsibilities for compensation in a Value Council, composed of key members of the management team.
  7. *I love the idea of a client compensation portfolio.* In a financial portfolio, you would never consider just one kind of investment.*Likewise, agencies have an opportunity to create a portfolio of different compensation agreements by approaching each new prospect as an opportunity to try something new and better.
  8. *Because of the psychology of anchoring, the more you ask for the more you get.*This has been demonstrated in almost 50 years of experiments by behavioral psychologist, many of which are featured in the new book, Priceless.
  9. *Have you ever noticed how at stores like Prada, the item featured in the main window is usually carries an extravagant price. *Among pricing professionals, this is called an anchor.*The anchor is foAnchoring Have you ever noticed how at stores like Prada, the item featured in the main window is usually carries an extravagant price.
