FAQ
What is the simplest pricing red flag?
You need high volume just to feel okay, and one bad month wipes you out.
Raise prices or cut costs first?
Do the fastest lever first. Often discount discipline and scope control wins fastest.
What if competitors are cheaper?
Cheap competitors are not your benchmark. Compete on outcome, clarity, and terms.
Do I need detailed costing?
No. Rough numbers still reveal obvious undercharging and bad offers.
How to test without risking existing clients?
Test on new clients first or change packaging before changing price.
