This handbook isn’t just about “putting pricing on something,” Padar says. “That’s putting lipstick on a pig.” Many firms that have tried value pricing say it doesn’t work, but Padar says that’s because their business model isn’t aligned with their pricing. “If you leave the old school model and just put pricing on top of it, you're going to struggle,” she says. Radical Pricing walks readers through a process of standardizing and productizing services, defining the ideal customer, developing pricing, and even explaining how to bring legacy customers on board.
