About Me

It's not about what you can do, it's about who you are. This is me, warts and all, just a guy trying to plot a course through life.

Price v's Value

I’ve been intrigued by a recent discussion I’ve been following on the Sales Playbook! group on LinkedIn.  (It’s a closed group, so you need to be a member in order to see the full discussion.)  For those of you who are members, the title is “Doesn’t price matter a little bit?”  For the rest of you, this is the scenario:

“I totally understand that it's not about being the lowest price and you get what you pay for and all that. I think it is also true that there is a point where cost outweighs the value or quality.

Case in point, I just got a quote back and found out that my price was literally 5 times more than my competition. I don't know how I am going to justify the additional costs.

Thoughts anybody?”
