Selling Prices too Low?

Are you maximizing the selling price of your product or service? One way to tell if your pricing is too low is by the number of customer complaints you get about prices. If the complaints about prices are diminishing or non existent your prices are probably too low.

I had a client who was getting absolutely no complaints about their prices. As a matter of fact they were getting a lot of compliments. Come to find out they were selling there product below cost!

The business owner usually has a good handle on what competitors are charging for their product or services. As a matter of fact most business owners price their products against competitors. However comments from the customer combines what the price of the product or service is with the value being delivered and therefore is the best barometer.
