## Resource

S3E3 Join our Entrepreneur Experience Hub for resources, community, & courses! https://jtvsuals.com/skool Today, we're diving into a critical, yet often misunderstood, business fundamental: pricing strategy. We immediately confront the controversial truth about being the "middle-priced" option in your industry, explaining why this is the most competitive, low-profit, and ultimately dangerous position for any entrepreneur. From dissecting the pricing philosophy of becoming either the cheapest or the most valuable (as popularized by Alex Hormozi), to learning the shocking business lesson from the world's most expensive "cat poop coffee," we break down why perceived value is everything. We share the personal confession of how a 90% conversion rate almost bankrupted one of their businesses because of a misguided discount strategy, and provide real-world examples from Dollar Tree to Whole Foods to illustrate how major brands strategically own their price points. -- Sponsored Links -- 365 Coaching Online Courses: https://actioncoachkansascity.com/courses-online/ JT VSUALS Podcast Network: Book a quick call to get started with premium podcast production and management like the one you are watching! https://jtvsuals.com/quickcall -- Podcasting Gear and Resources -- Mobile phone tripod: https://amzn.to/3AfwKjL Wireless Mic that can work on your phone: RØDE Wireless ME Single Version: https://amzn.to/4cixvFM Dual Version: https://amzn.to/46zDK76 ^^ Handheld Grip for that mic if desired ^^ https://amzn.to/3AcVlWd $30 XLR Mic That Somehow Sounds Great (you will need a way to hook it up to your recorder or camera) Behringer XM8500 https://amzn.to/4fsKsQt Fantastic Mic!
