Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Matt Durbin for a no-fluff deep dive into the real conversations buyers, sellers, and agents need to be having in today's shifting real estate market. From buyers who think they “know more than their agent” to sellers holding onto unrealistic pricing expectations, John and Matt unpack how to position yourself as the trusted advisor who brings clarity, strategy, and results. This is a practical masterclass on buyer consultations, seller pricing strategies, and how agents can lead with professionalism instead of pressure—especially when the market gets tough. Key Topics Covered Buyers in Today's Market Why buyers think they're doing the agent's job (and how to reframe it) Structuring buyer consultations that build trust and prevent cancellations Using creative financing, seller assist, and negotiation strategies to win deals Why lifestyle, timeline, and resale potential matter more than just list price Pricing & Positioning with Sellers Why list price is just a strategy, not a number Setting expectations early to avoid painful price-reduction battles later The role of condition, competition, and motivation in every pricing conversation How to prevent seller frustration by aligning strategy upfront Leading Agents Through Market Shifts The agent's #1 mistake: avoiding hard conversations How to train agents to communicate value and price realistically Why motivated clients are the only clients worth taking right now Communication frameworks that protect relationships and prevent fallout Resources & Mentions John Kitchens Executive Coaching – Custom strategy, accountability, and proven systems Honey Badger Nation – Community and training resources CHSA / CHBA Framework – Creating clarity and articulating agent value Final Takeaway Agents who survive and thrive in this market aren't just order-takers—they're advisors. That means asking the tough questions, setting expectations early, and telling clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear. If you want to build trust, avoid fallout, and consistently close deals, it's time to step into the CEO role of your business and lead your clients through the storm.   “Skipping steps only presents the illusion of speed.” – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

A former product leader turned pricing expert, Marcos shares the most common pricing mistakes SaaS companies make, from lazy segmentation and low-value framing to treating pricing as an afterthought. He outlines a better path forward: one rooted in deep customer understanding, thoughtful packaging, and continuous alignment between price and perceived value. If you've ever launched a great product only to watch it struggle to sell, or you've relied on guesswork when it came time to price, it's time to stop winging it. This episode will show you how.

Show Notes: Will Bachman and Dina David, the facilitator for the Umbrex and Veritux Mastermind groups, discuss the program's basics. Mastermind groups are peer-structured programs for middle-seven to nine people, ideally eight, over a 10-month period. The program kicks off in September and wraps up in June, 2026. Applications are due August 15, and for those not yet members, independent consultants should join the community to access the opportunity. The Details on Mastermind Groups Dina explains that meetings take place monthly and are one hour sessions. The sessions take place online.They typically start with an introduction, a quick update on goals, and a check-in on progress. The majority of the session is dedicated to a deep dive into a specified topic, sharing practical ideas, best practices, and lessons learned. The session ends with a closing check-out, focusing on what was learned and what the group plans to do in the next month based on the conversations that have taken place. Dina also discusses the different formats of the groups, such as breakout groups, warm seats, guest speakers, and show and tells. Business Development and Online Presence Dina shares an example of how the program works and helped improve LinkedIn profiles. She also discusses the importance of deep dives into a website. The discussion revolves around firm overview documents, business development, and pricing strategies. It highlights the importance of having clear deliverables and testimonies to ensure that clients can remember their work. Business development is another key topic discussed, with examples of specific topics such as the fishing line, which helps consultants understand who they serve and what problems they solve. The group also discusses strategies for implementing comprehensive business development processes, such as using CRM systems like HubSpot. How to Improve Marketing Strategies Dina also touches on strategies for marketing, such as warm and cold outreach, and how to get people to respond to LinkedIn messages or emails. The group emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but learning from others' strategies can help consultants stay ahead in today's busy world. Sharing templates and examples has been helpful in addressing the overwhelming amount of information available online. Approaches to Pricing Price is another important topic discussed, with many groups discussing tier-based pricing approaches, such as Bronze, Silver, and Gold options, and how to word offerings. This approach brings consultants closer to the value brace and helps them learn best practices from each other. Strategies include pricing when working with startups or maintaining a retainer. Handling Client Negotiations However, the discussion also touches on handling client negotiations and managing scroll scope creep. Many consultants face challenges in handling changes at the leadership level, dealing with organizational changes, and managing relationships with clients. Internal operations, such as insurance and invoicing, are also discussed, with examples of how consultants can benefit from external support. Scaling Up for Independent Firms The discussion revolves around the journey of scaling up for independent firms, which can be challenging but rewarding. It is essential to build networks and connections, as well as understand when to hire and manage subcontractors. The group debrief helps in making informed decisions about hiring and managing subcontractors. The Benefits of Joining a Mastermind Group Dina the benefits of joining these groups which include new projects, client referrals, networking opportunities, and accountability. Members gain access to peer-based resources, which can help them hold themselves accountable and stay motivated. Members state that they have built genuine relationships, which can be invaluable for their businesses. In between monthly sessions, members receive a recording, summary recap, and additional resources. They are assigned an accountability buddy from their group, who they check in with within the month of the next live session. This allows them to discuss ideas, support each other, and work towards their goals. Applications for the 2025 to 2026 cohort are due on August 15. If you are a member of Umbrex or Veritux, you will receive emails about the program and links to fill out the application.  Timestamps: 00:02 Introduction and Overview of Mastermind Groups 01:23: Monthly Meeting Agenda  02:54: Specific Topics and Examples  09:00: Business Development and Pricing Strategies  11:05: Internal Operations and Scaling Up  13:31: Benefits and Accountability  15:02: Between-Session Activities  Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

Owen Carr joins Next Gen Investing to discuss Amazon (AMZN) and the e-commerce giant's pricing strategy during uncertain international trade amid tariff hikes. Owen says Amazon has largely fared better than expected, attributing strength to its sellers working through pre-tariff inventory before passing on cost increases. He does caution that an eventual price hike rollout is likely as sellers absorb record-high margins alongside new tariffs.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What if your pricing strategy wasn't tied to your self-worth—but instead guided by simple supply and demand?In the coaching world, we often hear messages like “charge what you're worth” or “higher prices mean higher value.” But what if those beliefs are fueling unnecessary emotional drama and confusion in your business?In this episode of Success Genius, I'm joined again by the always insightful Mark Butler—fractional CFO, bookkeeper, and coach—for a candid conversation about pricing. Together, we dismantle the “self-worth pricing” myth and explore why pricing is a business decision, not a personal identity crisis.We discuss how to use price as a throttle, what it actually means to have a “full” calendar, and how lowering your price doesn't mean you're lowering your value—it might just mean you're increasing demand.This is a must-listen if you've ever agonized over your rates, compared your prices to others, or wondered if charging less means you believe less in your work.Topics covered in this episode include:Why pricing is a strategic business decision—not a reflection of your self-worthThe real role of supply and demand in determining what to chargeHow to define a “full practice” on your own termsPractical ways to reduce emotional drama around pricingIf you've ever second-guessed your rates, felt pressured to “charge your worth,” or wondered if lower prices mean lower value, this episode is for you.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you an attorney looking for advice on how to structure your law firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Jeff Holman, an attorney and entrepreneur. Jeff shares his journey from engineering to law and business, detailing his transition from private practice to in-house counsel and ultimately creating a fractional legal team model. Jeff shares how to set expectations for clients about the legal team model. Some clients are used to working with an attorney who will be with them from intake to the conclusion of all affairs. A legal team model involves collaboration with different individuals within a firm, which can involve other lawyers working on a case. Jeff emphasizes the need to provide clear communication with clients who might not be used to this model so they know what kind of support they are receiving.With AI growing within many firms, Jeff and Tyson provide insights on how AI affects client interactions. Research shows that AI integration might lead to firms hiring less attorneys since there are tools that can do a lot of the work for you. For Jeff, the use of AI is a great tool, but won't be useful for certain aspects. For example, if the right questions aren't being asked, AI can help with this. It can also help replace a first year associate that might be too green to work in a specific legal environment. Listen in to learn more!02:43 Transition from Private Practice to In-House04:15 Burnout in Fractional Roles06:02 Running a Firm with a Spouse12:01 Team Model and Client Expectations 15:30 Pricing Strategy and Eliminating Billable Hours29:39 Franchise Ownership Experience37:51 Changing the Law Firm Business Model Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Jeff:Website Instagram  Facebook Linkedin  Youtube

Alan Hollander, VP of Offer Packaging and Pricing Strategy at Blackbaud, has led pricing initiatives for six years. With nearly three decades in pricing, his impressive career began in 1994 when Tom Nagle hired him after Alan excelled in Nagle's "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" course. He also held key roles at Ellucian and Simon-Kucher & Partners, bringing deep expertise in large-scale pricing transformations. In this episode, Alan addresses a major challenge for SaaS companies: how AI disrupts traditional per-user pricing. Drawing on his experience at Blackbaud (serving nonprofits with CRM and financial tools), he explains why AI's efficiency conflicts with seat-based pricing. He and Mark discuss the difficulties of shifting customers to new pricing models, managing multiple approaches, and implementing pricing innovations gradually.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why AI is fundamentally incompatible with per-user pricing and what alternatives actually work in practice. Learn how to implement pricing model changes without overwhelming your organization's operational capabilities. Discover the "crawl, walk, run" approach to pricing transformation that builds momentum through proven results.   "Don't go right to the end goal, in the future state, because people are just going to look at you cross-eyed. Start with quick wins, start with test pilots, test the concepts, show the results, quantify the results so you can build momentum in launching new pricing models." — Alan Hollander   Topics Covered: 01:30 — Alan's pricing journey: From Tom Nagle's student to Strategic Pricing Group veteran 02:45 — The AI pricing dilemma: Pricing products with AI vs. using AI for pricing 04:15 — Why AI pricing isn't different: It's still all about jobs-to-be-done and value creation 11:15 — The nonprofit sector challenge: Selling efficiency when budgets are already tight 14:30 — Human augmentation vs. job replacement: Reframing the AI conversation 16:45 — The Salesforce problem: When AI doubles productivity but revenue stays flat 19:20 — Blackbaud's approach: Combining user-based and consumption-based models 21:45 — Market segmentation reality: Financial vs. fundraising as separate buying centers 24:10 — The PayPal model: Why percentage-of-success pricing works for fundraising 26:30 — Optional pricing models: Letting customers choose fixed vs. variable approaches 28:45 — The operational reality check: Systems and processes needed for pricing flexibility 31:00 — The "crawl, walk, run" philosophy: Building momentum through incremental wins   Key Takeaways: "Per user is not going to be the answer. You're going to stagnate because unless you're just going to increase your per user price, it doesn't align with how they consume, how they use, what value they get." — Alan Hollander "Sometimes you have to do the right things before you do things right... you can have a beautiful strategy in terms of how you monetize and price, and it's very elegant and you've done all the analytics and it looks super cool. But sometimes you actually need to basically what I would say, do a crawl, walk, run." — Alan Hollander "If you don't lead with the value, I don't care if it's AI, SaaS, it doesn't matter what it is. If you don't lead with the value in a business case... you're not going to get anywhere." — Alan Hollander   Resources and People Mentioned: Blackbaud: https://www.blackbaud.com/  Tom Nagle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-tom-nagle  Reed Holden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reed-holden-913ab69/    Connect with Alan Hollander: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-hollander-753167/  Email: alan.hollander@blackbaud.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
