  • Three core factors drive pricing dynamics and company growth: cost, price, and value.
  • The gap between price and cost represents margin, which serves as the primary incentive for the seller to push the product.
  • The gap between price and value represents the incentive for the buyer; a larger gap facilitates customer acquisition.
  • Two primary pricing methodologies exist:
    • Cost-plus pricing, which establishes price based on underlying costs.
    • Value-based pricing, which establishes price based on the perceived value of the company or product.
