In a poll of A/E/C industry leaders responsible for leading the pricing conversation in their firms, we found the vast majority fall prey to two critical problems:
- We underestimate our value to our clients
- We price ourselves according to problem #1
Insight into the clients’ perceptions is the only way to fix the first problem and enable targeted action on the second.
Join Ryan Suydam to identify all the ways A/E/C firms create “value gaps” in their firms – some intentional, others not. You'll learn a simple method to collect data from your clients and learn which ones feel you’re delivering a Cadillac at Chevy prices. You'll also explore how to address value imbalances, including pricing, scope, and delivery adjustments.
At the end of this 60-minute session, you'll walk away ready to carefully fine-tune pricing and delivery to capture more value without compromising your client’s long-term loyalty. You'll also leave equipped with strategies to continuously increase your value proposition and move your margins upward in lock-step.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Identify why you chronically under-value your service
- Implement a measurement process that reveals when and where your margins can increase
- Develop a process to continuously create and capture value from your clients
