How an Accountant Gets Great Results From Value Pricing

Reza Hooda used to price based on a mixture of hourly rates and gut feeling.

Then he learnt about value pricing through my mentoring programme and it completely transformed his business.

In the interview he says:

“I could see how time-based billing was completely ludicrous. So we scrapped that idea completely, and then started to price much more based on value.”

An opportunity arose for Reza to use his newly learnt value pricing techniques to price an incorporation project involving a property client.

By using menu-pricing

He sat down with the client and worked out what they wanted to achieve and where the value in his service was.

Based on that, he prepared a proposal and, using the menu pricing tactics, presented his client with 3 options.

It was priced at £66,000. And they accepted it.

By using the Effective Pricing software

Reza used to price his compliance work by charging a similar rate to the client’s previous accountants.

But since moving to a software-based approach that comes up with a price that is unique for the customer based on their particular wants and requirements, he has noticed a huge improvement in his pricing.

Reza says:

“You get a better result when you include the customer as part of the buying process.”

“What I love about Cloud Pricing [Now Effective Pricing] is that it is so customisable. You can pick and choose how you do things to get the most optimal result.”

He uses this software daily to price every compliance service.

And because of the ability to customise Effective Pricing so effectively, he was able to create separate modules and build a system of questions to effectively deal with a large business with a £5 million turnover.

You can then start getting better clients

Reza has found that this new way of pricing has brought him much higher quality clients.

Some clients that were troublesome or difficult have been put off by this new way of pricing. This was perfect because it allowed Reza to commit more time and care to his more valued clients.

He can afford to be more selective in terms of who he takes on, which is a great position to be in.

I recommend you watch the whole interview here to learn just how Reza achieved such amazing results.
