Top Takeaways:

• There is a direct correlation between how much a company can charge a customer and the level of customer experience.
• How you present your product or service and your value messages drive customer satisfaction, customer experience, and how much customers are willing to pay.
• Any company has profitability based on three variables: total cost, sales volume, and price. Out of the three, the price has the highest leverage on profitability.
• Pricing drives satisfaction. Often higher prices lead to more satisfied customers than lower prices. Many companies compare themselves to others in their industry and start doing the same. But, if you give a compelling reason why your price is more than theirs, you’re going to win customers over.
• And Pers talks about the mistakes companies make when pricing affects the customer experience. Check it out!

Quotes:

“A satisfied customer with good experiences is more likely to be willing to pay higher prices than somebody who is dissatisfied (if that customer ever comes back).”

“Reinvest it in your company. Be more competitive and provide a better customer experience than your competitor, so you get repeat customers and price higher.”

“A brand is a promise of quality and consistency. Does your brand strength justify the price that you’ve set?”

” Expectation bias tells us that the price of a product or service sets an expectation of its quality and benefit.”
