Across several firms that are institutionalizing Advanced Pricing Methods® (APM) over the past six years, two solid trends emerged:

1) 60% or more of buyers, when provided 3 options, select the middle or high option, or a hybrid of the two. Rule of thumb: the high option price is 2x the low.

2) Win rates rise 25% when firms use APM®. The psychology of price options combined with better verbal positioning that Fore teaches, results in more customers hiring the firm than with a single-priced old-style approach.

The big eye-opener is what happens when you compound these two trends!

To begin, simply plug in your best guesses for three of your firm’s (or practice group’s) current metrics:

  • # of sales opportunities per month
  • your average proposed price
  • your typical win rate (max is 74% so we don’t exceed 99% after APM)

Then see what happens if you were to use APM RIGHT NOW!

Look at #1 to see what USING THREE OPTIONS (with 2x spread) does to your revenue (for every 10 closed sales). While 40% still buy at your typical price, 60% will upgrade to the middle or high offering, or a hybrid of the two options.

Next #2 is just the elevated win rate you could expect to see with Fore’s APM®. If you think 25% is crazy high, fine, toggle to reduce it to a modest 10% improvement.

Then, SEE WHAT HAPPENS in #3 (for every 10 opportunities) when 25% (or even just 10%) more of your opportunities close, PLUS 60% of buyers choose to spend more with you than your single-price offering would have brought.
