Pricing without value context is just a number they'll negotiate. Pricing with value context is an investment that makes sense. When you quantify what the problem costs them first, show what changes when it's solved second, and present the investment last, price stops being the objection. The ROI math has already been done in their head before you ever state the number. @aipbi – AI Content #SalesStrategy #PricingStrategy #BusinessWisdom #ClosingDeals #OldMoneyThinking ValueBasedSelling ExecutionMatters

When you present pricing before value, you're asking them to justify a cost. When you present value first, they justify the investment to themselves. The wrong order is to explain what you do, show how it works, then state the price and hope they see why it's worth it. But that's backwards. They're evaluating your price against nothing. No context, no comparison to what their problem is currently costing them. Just your numbers sitting there looking expensive. Here's the right order. You quantify what the problem costs them now. You show what changes when it's solved. Then you present the investment. And now they're not comparing your price to zero. They're comparing it to the cost of the problem. If the problem costs them $10,000 monthly and your solution is $15,000 one time, the math is obvious. Price without value context is just a number they'll negotiate. Price with value context is an investment that makes sense.

Presenting value before pricing helps clients justify the investment. To effectively communicate pricing, first quantify the cost of the problem, then show the benefits of the solution, and finally present the investment. This approach allows clients to compare the price to the cost of their current problem, making the investment more appealing.
