A few years ago, I was stuck. I had a service people loved, but my pricing strategy was a mess. One week, I’d price too high and scare clients away. The next, I’d drop prices just to make a sale—only to regret it when I ended up working twice as hard for half the money.
Then, something happened.
I came across a case study of a consultant who quadrupled his revenue without increasing his customer base—just by adjusting his pricing model. The moment I saw the numbers, it clicked.
Pricing wasn’t just about “what people will pay.” It was about positioning, psychology, and making my offer so compelling that the price felt like a no-brainer.
What happened next was game-changing. I restructured my pricing strategy based on the methods I’m about to share with you, and in just six months, I doubled my revenue while working with fewer clients.
If you’ve ever struggled with pricing, this post will walk you through the exact steps to price your offers for maximum profits—without repelling customers.
Why Pricing Strategy is More Than Just “Picking a Number”
Most businesses set prices based on gut feelings or competition. That’s a huge mistake. Your pricing should:
✅ Communicate Value – The right price makes your offer feel premium.
✅ Attract the Right Audience – Premium pricing brings premium buyers.
✅ Maximize Profits, Not Just Sales – Selling fewer at higher prices can be far more profitable than chasing volume.
Let’s break it down step by step.
Step 1: Identify Your Customer’s Price Sensitivity
Why This Matters
If you price too low, you’ll attract budget-conscious buyers who don’t truly value your offer. Price too high, and you might alienate potential customers who would have happily paid at the right tier.
How to Do It
Survey Past Buyers
- Ask: “How much would you have been willing to pay for this?”
- If most say “more than I charged,” I raise my price. If they hesitate, I reframe my offer for more perceived value.
Test Different Price Points
- Run A/B tests (e.g., selling the same offer at $497 vs. $997) to measure conversion rates.
- A higher-priced offer with added bonuses often converts better than a lower-priced standalone offer.
Analyze Competitor Pricing
- But don’t just copy! Instead, ask: How can I position my offer to be more valuable than theirs?
Case Study: How a Coach Increased Prices 3X Without Losing Clients
A life coach I worked with used to charge $500/month for his coaching program. He felt burnt out, overbooked, and underpaid.
Here’s what we did:
✅ Increased his price to $1,500/month but added one-on-one strategy sessions and a private community.
✅ Tested the price over 60 days—conversion rates stayed the same, meaning he made 3X the revenue with the same number of clients.
✅ Repositioned his offer as “VIP Coaching for CEOs” instead of just “Coaching for Entrepreneurs,” which immediately attracted higher-quality clients.
Step 2: Use the Power of Psychological Pricing
How to Do It
Use Charm Pricing (The Power of 9s)
- A $49 course will sell better than a $50 course—even though it’s just a $1 difference.
Decoy Pricing Strategy
- Example:
- Option 1: Basic Course – $199
- Option 2: Premium Course + Bonuses – $499
- Option 3: All-Access VIP – $999
- The $499 offer will convert best because it feels like a deal compared to the $999 option.
- Example:
Anchor High, Then Offer a Lower “Deal”
- Start with a premium price, then offer a discount ONLY for fast action.
Example: A Copywriter Selling a Sales Page Package
Instead of pricing at $1,000 flat, we structured it as:
✅ Regular Price: $2,000
✅ Limited-Time Offer (Next 48 Hours): $1,497
Result? Sales doubled overnight.
Step 3: Price for Profit, Not Just Sales
How to Do It
Calculate Your True Costs
- Factor in time, software, marketing, and overhead.
Set Profit Margins Based on Perceived Value
- Digital products: 5-10X cost
- Services: 3-5X cost
Offer Premium Upgrades
- Always include high-end versions of your offer to capture premium buyers.
