Baker -- 4P Value Pricing
- 1. Profit Starts with Pricing on Purpose Ron Baker, Founder VeraSage Institute
- 2. “The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power. If you’ve got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you’ve got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by 10 percent, then you’ve got a terrible business.” - Warren Buffet
- 3. Innovate for growth. Price for Profit.
- 4. The default purpose of marketing is not to increase sales. It’s to increase profits.
- 5. Profit is a marketer’s ultimate objective. Profit is driven mostly by price. Price is driven mostly by brand perception. Brand perception is driven mostly by what agencies do for their clients. The value of agencies

Notes de l'éditeur
- This links back to our feeling of self-worth, our self-confidence.
- No one wants to hear about the labour pains they just want to see the baby; they just want to see the returns. Justify price by giving reasons like cost of labour increases, but the client doesn’t care as long as value is there. Price is only an issue in the absence of value. In our clients’ case, that value is provided to their clients in between transactions.
- It wasn’t until physicians became convinced of germ theory that they started finding ways to create sterile environments. First, they had to change their paradigm about what caused infections (until Joseph Lister came along in the 1870s, infections were thought to be caused by stale air); then they couldn’t help but change their practices (washing their hands, cleaning their instruments).
- If you focus more on the outputs, your client will focus less on the inputs
- Chiat/Day’s recently appointment of Neal Grossman as Chief Compensation Officer is designed to remedy this.
- And a few progressive midsize firms like Canadian agency Quarry Communications have formalized responsibilities for compensation in a Value Council, composed of key members of the management team.
- *I love the idea of a client compensation portfolio.* In a financial portfolio, you would never consider just one kind of investment.*Likewise, agencies have an opportunity to create a portfolio of different compensation agreements by approaching each new prospect as an opportunity to try something new and better.
- *Because of the psychology of anchoring, the more you ask for the more you get.*This has been demonstrated in almost 50 years of experiments by behavioral psychologist, many of which are featured in the new book, Priceless.
- *Have you ever noticed how at stores like Prada, the item featured in the main window is usually carries an extravagant price. *Among pricing professionals, this is called an anchor.*The anchor is foAnchoring Have you ever noticed how at stores like Prada, the item featured in the main window is usually carries an extravagant price.
