Pricing Strategy & Commercial Terms
Operations Sales Rep Executive Founder
The prompt
We're not confident in our pricing and often negotiate down. Build a pricing and commercial strategy. Include: (1) Cost structure – true cost of delivery? Margin targets by service type? (2) Market pricing – what are competitors charging? (3) Value-based pricing – can we tie price to value delivered? (4) Service packaging – how do we package offerings? Fixed vs. T&M? (5) Negotiation strategy – response to push-back? Walk-away price? (6) Terms & conditions – what terms maximize profit? Include pricing model and negotiation playbook. Show confidence.
Why this works
Confident pricing improves realization. Firms leave money on the table through poor negotiation.
Risks & review
