Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on September 3, 2024

As the drum of inflation beats on, customers are holding on tight to every last dollar—while businesses are running scared, slashing prices in a scramble to the bottom. But price wars are nothing but a race to oblivion, warns acclaimed pricing strategist, Adam Wallace.

There’s a smarter, more sustainable approach: tapping into human nature to reveal what your customers value and will happily pay more for.

Customers are value-hunters, not just bargain-hunters. They’ll pay a premium for experiences that save time, solve problems, make them feel good, and more. The key is finding the value that makes your offering irresistible.

In his new book, (Re)Value: Raise Your Prices and Build Your Legacy (Business Expert Press; July 22, 2024), Adam distills his years as a Fortune 100 fixer into easy-to-apply pricing strategies that will boost your bottom line.

Tune in to hear Adam’s thoughts on:

  • What are the most common obstacles businesses face when trying to improve their pricing power?
  • How can businesses effectively differentiate themselves in the market?
  • How do you suggest businesses navigate the pricing riptides you mention in your book?
