Business case-based selling

A better way to frame value-based pricing:

Business case-based selling.

Value pricing, to the client, sort of feels like price discrimination.

Like a person saying, “What’s this worth to you?” and then trying to charge as much as they can get away with.

To me, making a valid business case for an engagement feels more reasonable, collaborative, and aligned.

You’re a co-buyer seeking to help the client find the right solution that meets their business objectives. Not too much, not too little.

You help them make a business case for your scope and price based on reasonable performance expectations.

Just my random thought of the day. More mindset and semantics than definitions.

Agree or disagree?
