Getting the price right

By Linda Julian

Run through this checklist before you price your next big proposal.

  • How price sensitive is this work ?
  • What commercial impact does this have ?
  • How dependent is this on our brand reputation ?
  • What volume of work is involved ?
  • Can we achieve substantial economies of scale if we win ?
  • How much will it cost us to produce this work ?
  • Will this client reward smart ideas and newer, better ways of doing things?
  • How will success be measured ?
  • What opportunity is there to share a successful outcome ?
  • What price competition are we likely to face ?
  • What price structure will most appeal ?
  • Will the client be prepared to pay more for a fixed or certain price ?
  • What is the right price for us to offer ?

By thinking about what may be driving pricing, you’ll get much closer to the “right” price much more often.
