PricePoint Partners is a pricing management firm that helps B2B companies identify hidden pricing opportunities to increase profits. The newsletter discusses a strategy for negotiating price reductions by being prepared to reduce benefits in return for a lower price, maintaining the balance of value for the customer. It advises salespeople to identify benefits that can be removed from proposals if the buyer requests a discount, so the buyer understands there is a trade-off to a lower price. The goal is to strengthen the company's brand value and ensure healthier margins.

Dealing with procurement
This document provides tips for agency managers to better understand a client's procurement department and negotiate more successfully. It suggests investigating the size, structure, and goals of the procurement team to determine their true power and influence compared to marketing. Finding details like the rank of the contact person and understanding individual motives can also reveal how much decision-making authority procurement actually has versus just pretending to have power over the selection process. The overall aim is to get a clearer picture of the dynamics between procurement and marketing in the client organization.
Pricing strategies
This document discusses pricing strategies, specifically psychological pricing. It explains that psychological pricing is the belief that certain prices make products more appealing, such as odd-ending prices that communicate a bargain versus even-ending prices that communicate quality. The key theory discussed is that prices ending in .99 cents are rounded down mentally by consumers, so $2.99 is perceived as closer to $2 than $3. Marketers use these odd-ending prices to encourage purchases by making the price seem more attractive to consumers.
Strategic Pricing
Raising prices can be an effective way to rapidly increase profits, provided the company emphasizes its value proposition to customers. A 1% price increase can result in a 12.3% profit increase with little effect on sales. However, salespeople may resist price increases as they prefer lower prices to close deals quickly. Companies should limit discounts, tie commissions to profitability, and benchmark prices against competitors while highlighting their unique value. Customers will accept reasonable price increases if a company delivers the quality and features that justify the cost.
Guide to Advertising Review
The document provides an overview of advertising review from the perspective of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It discusses the BBB's process for identifying misleading advertising claims, initiating communications with companies to seek changes, and informing the public about its efforts. The BBB reviews ads based on its advertising code and considers factors like implied meanings and evidence. It also outlines various advertising claim types like comparative pricing and provides guidelines for things like warranties, testimonials, and trigger terms.
Sometimes Firing a Customer is a Good Idea
This document discusses when and how a company should fire a problematic customer. It provides signs that a customer needs to be let go, such as if they engage in illegal activity, unethical behavior, mistreat employees, only value price over quality, or don't pay. It recommends a 4-step process to try repairing the relationship first by having an open discussion, determining if employees want to keep the customer and how, defining steps to improve the relationship, and planning for termination if needed. The goal is to thoughtfully address issues and terminate respectfully if repair is not possible.
The art of selling value
The document discusses the differences between product-oriented selling and value-based selling. Value-based selling focuses on understanding what the customer values and delivering value, rather than just features or price. It involves understanding customer needs at a deeper level and building trust and relationships. The key aspects of value-based selling include understanding customer perspectives, demonstrating integrity, empathy, initiative, knowledge, and courage.

The Golden Ratio for Marketing and Sales ROI is 5:1
For every dollar that you spend on marketing and sales, you should get $5 back in return. Now that's considered the middle of the curve, so that's considered average. A really exceptional marketing campaign can have a return of 10:1 but that's more the exception and not the rule.

Now, what type of marketing costs do you factor in to this ratio? You would put in your variable expenses, so you wouldn't include personnel costs, which is a fixed cost. These are your variable costs:
Marketing agency investment
Call center investment
Google ad words
Facebook Ads campaign spend
Display ads investment
Outside blogging and content investment
And if you have an outside social media manager, your social media management costs.

Selling a business is a personal decision that requires time, patience, and careful planning to do correctly. It is a complex process that typically takes 6 months to a year or more to complete. Successful sellers set clear personal, business, and financial goals before putting their business on the market. Once a sale is finalized, the business is gone forever, so sellers must carefully consider the impact on their family, employees, and themselves. The process involves setting objectives, evaluating strengths and weaknesses, getting an appraisal, developing buyer criteria, identifying potential buyers, creating a business profile, negotiating cautiously, and planning a smooth transition. Maintaining momentum in negotiations is important to keep a potential deal moving forward.

Ancient Greek Olympic Games by Tyler
The ancient Olympic Games originated in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece and were held every four years as part of a religious festival honoring Zeus. Events included foot races, wrestling, boxing, and chariot races. About 50,000 spectators would attend over five days, and winners received great honors such as free meals and the best seats at the theater. Only men could compete, though unmarried women had their own athletic festival called the Heraia.
The First Olympics
The Ancient Olympic Games originated in Greece and were held every four years. Only free Greek men could participate in the initial sporting event of the short footrace. Over time, more events were added like boxing, wrestling, and chariot racing. Winners of events received great honor and were often awarded with money and statues in their hometowns. The athletes generally competed naked and used olive oil to prepare their bodies and skin for the celebrations that highlighted physical accomplishments.

History of the olympic games

It describes how the ancient Olympic Games originated in Olympia, Greece over 2,700 years ago and were held every four years to honor the Greek gods. It also discusses how the modern Olympics were revived in 1896 by Pierre de Fredi, Baron de Coubertin and are now held every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter games. The Olympics have grown to include numerous sports and events, as well as traditions like the Olympic flag and torch.
Power point ancient olympic games
The ancient Olympics differed from the modern Games in several key ways. Only free Greek men could compete, and the Games were always held in Olympia rather than moving to different locations. While athletes competed to bring glory to their hometowns, the ancient Olympics were also part of a major religious festival honoring Zeus. The Olympics grew over time from a one-day event to five days and only included a few events like running, long jump, and wrestling. Women could not compete but could own winning chariot teams. The Olympics were one of the major events that helped educate Greek citizens and bring prestige to victors' cities.

Similar to Win Price Negotiations on Value
Value based negotiation pricing
This document provides an overview of value-based sales and negotiation strategies. It discusses determining customer value, understanding the buying center, crafting appropriate deals, and negotiating profitably. Effective negotiators must understand different buyer types like price, relationship, and value buyers and how to negotiate with each. Companies should anchor pricing to customer value and educate buyers on what value they receive. Salespeople also need training to focus on value rather than price when discussing offerings with customers.
4 P's of Marketing
The document discusses marketing strategies for new entrepreneurs, focusing on the four P's of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion. It provides an overview of each P and considerations for business owners. For product, businesses should ensure their product meets customer needs. For price, strategies include cost-plus, value-based, and competitive pricing. For place, businesses can use direct or reseller sales, as well as intensive, selective, or exclusive distribution. For promotion, businesses should advertise using methods like radio, print, and word-of-mouth to inform customers. The four P's should work together in an effective marketing mix.
Book Summary : Confessions of the Pricing Man: how price affects everything
This is probably the most important business (or marketing) book you haven’t heard of. Hermann Simon doesn’t think much of a business that doesn’t make money. Like him, if you too are tired of the frenzy about “unicorns” that don’t make any money and want to sink your teeth into old fashioned conversations about profits, Confessions of the Pricing Man is a book you don’t want to miss.
Sales and marketing strategies
This document discusses sales and marketing strategies, including the differences between sales and marketing, vendor and supplier management, building customer relationships, and identifying customer needs. Some key points are:
- Sales is focused on short-term goals like closing a deal, while marketing has long-term goals around brand awareness.
- Vendor management involves setting goals, selecting, and managing third-party suppliers to meet quality, cost, and satisfaction targets.
- Building strong customer relationships requires understanding their needs, adding value without expectation of immediate returns, and communicating sincerely and empathetically.
- Identifying customer needs through effective communication and feedback allows tailoring products and services to attract more customers long-term.
Data Mining / Cross-Selling
This document discusses strategies for cross-selling, which involves promoting additional products to customers based on their previous purchases. It provides eight ideas for improving cross-selling opportunities, such as letting natural opportunities arise and keeping suggestions relevant. It also stresses the importance of knowing customers well through data collection and CRM systems to increase loyalty and sales. Fear of risking the original sale or confusing customers are common reasons salespeople avoid cross-selling. Effective techniques include bundling products, offering various price points, and being observant of customer needs and behaviors.
Ecommerce pricing strategies that work
The document discusses various ecommerce pricing strategies that can be used, including:
- Setting the right base price that considers costs and competitors
- Using strategies like multiple pricing, anchor pricing, and loss leader pricing to influence customer purchases
- Having a solid understanding of your unique selling proposition and customers to inform pricing
- Testing different strategies like pay what you want, name your price, flat pricing, and personalized pricing depending on your business
The key is finding the right strategy or combination of strategies for your specific business through testing and analytics. Transparency and understanding costs and customers are also important considerations for pricing.
Retail business
This document discusses price sensitivity in retail business management. It defines price sensitivity as the degree to which price affects consumer purchasing behavior, as measured by price elasticity of demand. Three factors that determine price sensitivity are the uniqueness of a product, availability of substitutes, and ease of comparing products. Price sensitivity varies based on industry, competition, marketing, customer needs, and the economy. The document also outlines different pricing strategies used in retail businesses, including everyday low prices, high-low pricing, predatory pricing, and psychological pricing.

Profitability means getting your pricing right
Price is perhaps the most crucial aspect of the marketing mix to determine whether customers make the purchase. If priced too low, you lose profitability. Priced too high, customers will choose a competitor.
This article discusses several pricing strategies that businesses can use to get it right.
Price is based on research, experience, and understanding of the market, to calculate a price expected to be profitable and sell enough volume to be sustainable as a business.
Price also must stand its ground against alternative options from competitors.
Pricing is at the core of marketing strategy, being one of the original ‘4Ps’ of the Marketing Mix.
Changing core marketing strategies and new product development is expensive and time-consuming, but the price is very flexible, and business can change it according to the needs of the situation. Price is the most adjustable aspect of the marketing mix, allowing a business to quickly respond to marketplace changes.
For customers, price is often the most crucial factor of their purchase decision. Businesses use price as a differentiating factor to set them apart from competitors and to target a segment of customers. Your price reflects your positioning in the market. Pricing helps create your brand identity.
These slides discuss twelve ways a business can price their products or services.

You have been working a prime sales prospect for the past six months. Your product is the ideal solution, you have done a great job of selling the value and you have carefully calculated a value-based price point for this prospect. But, despite your very best efforts at winning the deal, the buyer is asking for a lower price. What do you do next? Trade Value. Let’s step back for a moment and look at the physics of selling and buying. Think of the economic relationship between seller and buyer as a balance between benefits and price. On one side are the benefits delivered by your solution. On the other side is the price the customer must pay to realize these benefits. The goal of any win-win sales situation is to maintain a fair and even balance between price and benefits. If benefits are increased, they will outweigh the price and disrupt the balance. Likewise, an increase in price will outweigh the benefits and disrupt the balance. When a buyer asks for a lower price, he or she is effectively disrupting the balance in value. A lower price essentially tilts the value in favor of the buyer. In order to maintain balance in the value equation, when the buyer asks for a lower price, we can respond with a resounding “Yes!” with a caveat. We must remove some- thing from the benefit side of the equation to maintain the balance in value. Essentially, we are reducing the benefits of the product for the lower price. Look for product features, services, delivery schedules, warranties, payment terms or lower-priced product alternatives as sources for reducing value. Remove or reduce these value features to decrease the delivered benefits. From a negotiation standpoint, the trade for value does not necessarily need to be completely equitable. You just need to communicate to the buyer that there is a “price” to be paid for a lower price. Lower prices are not free. Buyers often expect lowered prices from suppliers because the seller has historically trained the buyer to agree to lower prices without concessions. Your job is to train the buyer to expect a trade in the benefits delivered in return for a lower price. Smart salespeoplewillbe prepared for this type of value- trading discussion. Identify items in your proposal that you can remove if the buyer pushes back on price. Be prepared to tell the buyer what items can be removed from the pro- posal at the moment the buyer asks for a discounted price. We find, in many cases, that the buyer is not willing to sacrifice any component of the proposal and agrees to the full price. Empowering your sales team with this negotiation strategy helps you strengthen the perceived value of your brand as you ensure healthier margins. Once buyer and seller agree to place value over price, you will discover how easy it is to hold the line on price and build more meaningful business relationships. “YOU JUST NEED TO COMMUNICATE TO THE BUYER THAT THERE IS A “PRICE” TO BE PAID FOR A LOWER PRICE.
