About this episode

This episode discusses the negative impact of cheap pricing on business growth and profitability.

Cheap pricing creates expensive problems. It attracts the wrong clients. It puts pressure on your margins. It forces you to work harder for less. And over time, it makes growth harder than it should be. This episode breaks down what cheap pricing actually does to your business and why it’s one of the fastest ways to stall your progress. If growth feels harder than it should, your pricing might be the reason. Sponsored by KDM Performance Group. Revenue only matters when it turns into cash.
