Fixed Pricing: Risky business or strategic move?

Let’s shatter the illusions and uncover the truth about fixed pricing.

What is the default argument why it can’t work? 🤔

It’s too risky! 🎲

It isn’t. You only change who takes the risk. 🔀

With hourly billing the risk is with the customer. They only have a broad estimate of how much it could be, and even then…

Fixed pricing takes away the risk from the customer and puts it onto you. 🔄

And you can price this risk. 💰

Just like an insurance company will ask higher fees if the risk is higher. 📈

You are selling risk protection to the customer!

Start selling!
