Article: Pricing: What Does it Communicate About Your Business? - By Mary Townsend

You could have a hundred marketing strategies lined up for the coming year, but if you apply them to the wrong pricing model you could end up very disappointed. You might still do OK but it's unlikely the result will be brilliant.


There are three elements to consider when deciding on a pricing strategy:

1. Don't fear pricing -- One of the worse things you can do when a customer queries a price is to start backing down or apologizing for it. Once you have decided on a price, being strong to stand by that decision will communicate confidence in your product or service.

Beware employees who believe your prices are too expensive. Their attitude will definitely influence your customers. Some may even say such things like "I know it's a bit expensive, but..." This is an absolute no, no! Usually, some simple training in presentation and why they should be proud of your prices is all that's needed to put this right.

When you and your employees take a pride in your pricing structure and start believing it's well deserved, it will start to influence your customers in all sorts of ways. Prospects will be attracted to that kind of certainty. Customers will be satisfied that they are getting real value for money.

2. Look beyond a customer's price query -- When a customer tells you a product or service is too expensive, don't believe it. Even if they do think the price is a bit high, it is more likely than not that there is another reason why they aren't buying.

Much research has gone into this subject and shows that price is often used as an excuse to get out of making a purchase, when really it is more likely that the customer simply hasn't understood the offer. If this happens you need to consider that you may not have explained what it is you're selling well enough.

We know from consumers' past buying history that affordability, and therefore price, isn't the biggest influencer when it comes to buying decisions. The huge credit card industry stands testimony to the certainty that people will buy what they cannot afford.

Of course, there is a portion of the market that only buys on price. What portion of your business is influenced by this type of customer will depend on the business you're in. If 10 - 20% of your customers always want the cheapest available, you have to ask yourself if you really want them as customers. Personally, I'd steer well clear of them.

If you find such customers make up your core business, you need to think about re-structuring right away. These types of customers are always the hardest to deal with and will give you the least profit. You will end up paying them to use your services!

When someone challenges a price you need to go deeper. Have they understood your offer? Have you met their needs? Reinforce the benefits. When someone says no because the price is too high, they usually mean they cannot see the value.

3. Premium Pricing -- Selling expensive items to people for whom price is not an issue is one of the keys to entrepreneurial wealth. The fashion and motor industries are obvious examples. High end brands will keep their prices deliberately high so that only the wealthy can afford them.

We could break the figures down like this:

10 - 20% buy on price alone.

80 - 85% take price into account, but it's not the most crucial factor.

5 - 10% want the very best and are willing to pay any price to get it. More than that, they usually make their buying decisions based on what's the most expensive. They have a belief system that's grown out of a social conditioning that says -- expensive is best.

You are certain to come into contact with this 5 - 10% group at some stage. Are you ready to give them what they want? It is very likely that 5% of your present customer list would be willing to purchase something from you, right now, that's five times the price of your most expensive item!

Find a way to give your customers a choice. Perhaps you can re-structure your services or product range into Platinum, Gold and Silver or Deluxe, Standard, Economy. 1,000 customers will buy at $100 each, 50 (5% of 1,000) at $500 and 2-3 (5% of 50) at $2,500.

Statistics indicate that you are probably not charging enough for whatever it is you're selling anyway. Plan to structure your business to move towards that 5 - 10% of the population. Generally, these people are easier to target, better to do business with and will make a greater difference to the success of your business.

Article: Are You In Business or Enslaved to Self-Employment? - By Dan Boudreau

Oddly, the ultimate goal of self-employment might be to work yourself out of a job.

Many people start businesses simply to create jobs for themselves. Self-employment offers many benefits, not the least of which is the opportunity to develop basic business trade skills, while getting paid for work you love to do. Self-employment is everything some owners want, while others use it as a stepping stone to build sustainable, stand-alone businesses.

What's the difference between self-employment and being in business? Here are some signs that you are self-employed.

  1. You are the business. When customers think of your business they think of you, and they usually count on you to be one delivering the goods.
  1. You might be tied to a roller coaster, feast and famine schedule. You work long hours while contracts last and you're unemployed when they end. You are at the beck and call of your customers and dare not turn down any jobs because you never know when they might stop coming in.
  1. Your paycheck is tied to the amount of hours you personally spend serving customers. When you stop, the revenue stops; when you get tired the business stops.
  1. You spend all or most of your time working in the business, with no energy left over to work on the business.
  1. You likely don't have financial systems in place, probably do your own bookkeeping, and treat your accountant to the occasional shoebox bulging with receipts. You fly by the seat of your pants for the entire year before finding out if you've earned a profit.

Here are a few indicators that a business owner is moving beyond self-employment and on to building a business.

  1. The business is separate from the owner. Customers don't necessarily expect the owner to be on the front line. The business takes on more of a team approach, involving people who share the owner's vision, mission and values.
  1. The team will necessitate human resource responsibilities, systems and processes. Jobs have written descriptions and are staffed by the right people, instead of the other way around. The owner's job shifts from the front line to leading the team.
  1. Although the owner will probably still work a considerable number of hours, his paycheck is not limited to the number of billable hours worked.
  1. While the owner might still choose to work in the business, more time is invested in designing systems for efficiency and growth.
  1. The business has proper accounting and financial controls, with regular monthly financial statements and methods for tracking the flow of all monies in and out of the business.
The transition from self-employment to business doesn't happen by accident. It is brought about when the owner consciously decides to invest in building the systems that form the backbone of the business. Once the infrastructure is in place the owner will be positioned to reduce her work hours, or possibly even sell the business and move on to other pursuits.

Make Every Minute Count

By: Brian Tracy

Time management is the central skill of success. Your ability to manage your time, to focus and channel your energies on your highest value tasks, will determine your rewards and your level of accomplishment in life more than any other factor.

Save Hundreds of Hours and Thousands of Dollars in Personal Advancement

Your mind is your most precious asset. You must be continually working to increase the quality of your thinking. One of the best ways is to turn driving time into learning time. Listen to educational CDs or audio cassettes in your car. The average driver, according to the American Automobile Association, drives 12,000 to 25,000 miles each year, spending 500 to 1000 hours that you spend each year in your car. That is the equivalent of 12 1/2 to 25 forty-hour weeks. This is the same as two full university semesters spent behind the wheel of your car each year.

Use Traveling Time as Learning Time

If you did nothing but use that traveling time as learning time, this decision alone could make you one of the best educated people of your generation. Many people have gone from rags to riches simply by listening to audio programs as they drive to and from work.

Attend Every Seminar

In addition, for personal and professional development, you should attend every seminar you can. You can often save yourself 100's of hours of reading and researching by attending a seminar given by an authority in his or her field. You can learn ideas, techniques and methods that can save you hours, days, even months of hard work and research on your own.

Increase Your Earnings

Remember, to earn more, you must learn more. Your outer world of results will always correspond to your inner world of preparation. Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.

Action Exercises

Now, here are two things you can do to put these ideas to work in your life immediately.

First, purchase an audio program that can help you to be happier and more effective today. Begin listening to it immediately. Resolve never to listen to music in your car when you can turn driving time into learning time.

Second, seek out seminars and training programs given by experts in your field. Sit close to the front, take careful notes, and apply the best ideas that you learn immediately.

Bekerja dengan Ceria - Dato' Dr Fadzilah Kamsahj

"Ada orang datang ke pejabat dengan perasaan penuh gembira & ceria, ada datang dengan perasaan 'biasa' dan ada datang dengan perasaan serba tidak kena. Ingatlah, sesiapa yang datang hanya dengan perasaan 'biasa' saja, hasilnya adalah 'biasa' saja, sesiapa yang datang dengan ceria, hasilnya akan jadi lebih daripada biasa ataupun luar biasa."

". Bekerja lah dengan ceria agar menghasilkan produktiviti yang luar biasa yang akan menggembirakan orang di sekeliling kita. Semoga hasil itu akan mendapat keberkatan insyallah..."

Jadi renungi lah :-

1. Ada antara kita datang ke pejabat hanya memenuhi tanggung jawab 'DATANG BEKERJA' tapi ‘hampeh’, hasilnya macam kita 'TAK DATANG' kerja.

2. Ada kala kita rasa kita BUSY giler, rupanya kita hanya 'KELAM KABUT'.

3. Adakala kita rasa kita PERIHATIN', tapi rupanya kita BUSY BODY.

4. Adakala kita rasa kita ‘OPENMINDED’ and ‘OUTSPOKEN’ tapi rupanya kita KURANG PENG'AJAR'AN.

5. Adakala kita rasa kita berpemikiran KRITIS rupanya kita hanya lebih kepada KRITIK yang mencipta KRISIS.

6. Adakala kita rasa kita ingin menjadi LEBIH MESRA tapi rupanya kita di lihat lebih MENGADA.

7. Adakala kita suka bertanya 'KENAPA DIA NI MACAM TIDAK ADA KERJA', adalah lebih baik kita tanya 'APA LAGI KERJA YANG AKU BOLEH BUAT'.

Pejam mata dan renunglah diri, kalau kita perlu melakukan ANJAKAN PARADIGMA, maka lakukanlah segera, tapi manusia tetap manusia, sukar untuk berubah kerana kita selalu beranggapan kita lebih baik, adakah dengan merasakan itu kita sememangnya terbaik?.

Maka untuk itu, mari kita mula senyum, ceria, mesra sesama kita dan tingkat kerjasama dalam kerja, tidak rugi kita semai rasa 'kekeluargaan' dalam tugasan, kalau kita kurang kerja, carilah kerja dengan membantu teman-teman yang lain.

Tidak dapat gaji lebih pun tidak mengapa, sebab pahala dapat, kita ‘draw ’ di akhirat tetapi kalau kita asyik dengki mendengki, tanggunglah, sebab kita yang memilih jalan sukar itu.

Renungi lah, berapa orang kawan kita dan berapa orang lawan kita, nescaya ia menjadi kayu pengukur diri yang sebaiknya.- dipetik dari tips motivasi kerja
