Value-Based Pricing
“This is one of the best texts on this topic I have run up against so far. First the descriptions of pricing and how it is arrived at is succinct, clear and bang on the money. Second this is the first pricing book that really identifies how many objections that sale can find with changing the pricing strategy as well as the huge obstacle that sales is to implementation. Then they do show you how to capture customer value in order to extract the price you deserve. The case studies at the end of the book are a bonus for those serious about implementing value based pricing. This is a must have reference for sales and marketing organizations as well as CEO’s. Plus with both authors from the UK, they do not waste a word- it is all clear and valuable”.

When customers feel they are getting good value from your product or service, they are more than happy to pay more―which is good news for you and your business. Even in today’s global market―with its aggressive competitors, low-cost commodities, savvy consumers, and intangible digital offerings―you can outsell and outperform the rest using Value-Based Pricing.
Done correctly, this method of pricing and selling helps you:
- Understand your customers’ wants and needs
- Focus on what makes your company different
- Quantify your differences and build a value-based strategy
- Communicate your value directly to your customers
Now more than ever, it is essential for you to reexamine the reality of the value you offer customers―and this step-by-step program shows you how.
Developed by global consultants Harry Macdivitt and Mike Wilkinson, Value-Based Pricing identifies three basic elements of the Value Triad: revenue gain, cost reduction, and emotional contribution. By delivering these core values to your customers―through marketing, selling, negotiation, and pricing―you can expect an increase in profits, productivity, and consumer goodwill.
So forget about your old pricing methods based on costs and competition. Once you know your own value―and how to communicate it to others―everybody profits.

The Challenge of Value
“The contents of this book are at the very heart of understanding value. As a result, I think it would be extremely helpful for readers wishing to understand and implement value in their own organisations”.
Helmut Stiegler, Manager Sales & Marketing-Sales Excellence, Siemens Industry Automation Division
First you must understand your customer and what is important (valuable) to him personally and to his business in terms of the three elements of the Value Triad©.
Second you must understand your competition and how you are different from them on those issues that are important to the customer.
Third you have to quantify the monetary and emotional value (both positive and negative) of these differentiators.
Finally you have to construct a Value Proposition that clearly explains the differentiated value that your product or service brings to the customer.
At the end of the day, customers will only buy your product or service if they understand the value that you offer and they feel they have a reasonable chance of receiving that value if they purchase.
That’s the challenge. This book will help you meet it.
