Review: 'The 1% Windfall' by Rafi Mohammed

Pricing your offer involves a delicate balancing act. If you charge too little, you're diminishing your profits. If you charge too much, you risk losing paying customers. As a result, "loss aversion":/loss-aversion/ typically pushes us to charge less than what our offer is worth.

The 1% Windfall is a compilation of fundamental guidelines that will help you set the highest supportable price for your offer. Rafi Mohammed is an experienced pricing consultant with experience helping major companies make pricing decisions. In most cases, even a very small price increase can improve profits without dramatically impacting sales.

Since the price of your offer is tied directly to the "value":/value-based-pricing/ you're providing, so The 1% Windfall spends a lot of time detailing various "forms of value":/12-standard-forms-of-value/, "bundling":/bundling/ strategies, "tradeoffs":/tradeoffs/, "risk reversal":/risk-reversal/, versioning, and differential pricing.

Optimizing your pricing strategy is one of the most effective ways to ensure your business is generating as much profit as possible. If pricing is a consistent challenge for your company, you'll find The 1% Windfall useful reading.
