If you’ve ever had a record sales month only to look at your bank account and wonder where all the profit went, you might be suffering from the silent killer of profitable businesses: under-pricing. For B2B service founders generating $1M to $10M, the instinct is often to price competitively. But “competitive” often translates to leaving significant money on the table.

The Value-Cost Gap

Stop anchoring your price to your cost or what a competitor charges. Instead, anchor it to the value you deliver. Your price should reflect the gap between the client’s current painful state and the profitable, stable state you will move them into.

If your solution adds $100K to a client’s bottom line, charging $20K is a bargain for them — and appropriate for you.

I’ve watched too many brilliant business owners — masters of their craft — burn out because they are trading time for dollars at a discount. They are working harder just to maintain the status quo.

Your pricing strategy is the single most important financial lever in your business. Most founders adjust everything else — headcount, software, overhead — before touching price. That is backwards.
