Chapters on creating packages, choices, and options offer new ways to think about what you're offering and how you're selling. And the entire book is filled with action steps to think through how to implement a smarter pricing strategy for your business. Unless you have the whole pricing equation nailed down, you're going to find something in this book that you can put to use in your business." * Daria Steigman, Solo PR Pro *
