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

We cover: Why now is exactly the right time to review your pricing How confidence, mindset, and value perception all play a role Why product and service-based businesses alike need to embrace being “the most expensive” The real cost of saying yes to discounts (and the thousands you could be leaving on the table) If you've ever second-guessed your pricing, undercharged for your brilliance, or told yourself “now isn't the right time to increase my rates”, this episode is a must-listen.

How AI is Breaking Traditional Per-User Pricing Models with Alan Hollander

Impact Pricing

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

“A 30% duty can turn a profitable product into a loss-maker if it's not accounted for.” — Noa Sussman, TecEx In the latest installment of the TecEx podcast series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, is joined once again by Noa Sussman of TecEx to unpack the real-world financial impact of tariffs, duties, and VAT on global technology deployments—and why it's no longer just a logistics issue, but a boardroom concern. The Hidden Cost of Global Trade Decisions Sussman warns that companies still underestimate how duties and tariffs directly affect sourcing and profitability. With geopolitical tensions and shifting regulations, a 10% or 30% tariff isn't theoretical—it's immediate and impactful. “It can take a product from black to red if you don't factor it into your pricing,” Sussman explains. Sourcing from countries like China or exporting to regulated markets like Europe means companies must think beyond cost and lead times—they must assess tax exposure and long-term compliance risks. VAT: Not Just a Cost of Doing Business The discussion also dives into VAT—how it varies across jurisdictions, and how misunderstandings about reclaim rules can cause serious cash flow issues. Sussman shares how a poorly timed or misunderstood VAT payment can delay deployments and disrupt go-to-market timelines. Case Study: When Classification Goes Wrong In a striking real-world example, Sussman recounts how one client misclassified a component's country of origin, triggering a massive tariff on an entire $1 million shipment rather than a single $5,000 part. The error, based on incomplete paperwork and poor compliance oversight, led to unexpected duties, delays, and financial loss—something a strategic partner like TecEx could have prevented. Strategic Solutions: Planning and Partners From leveraging free trade agreements to properly classifying products and understanding country-specific tax rules, Sussman outlines how planning can lower costs and reduce risk. He also introduces the concept of “duty drawback programs”—a lesser-known tool that allows qualified companies to recoup paid duties under certain conditions. “Too many companies make the sale before they think about VAT or duties,” Sussman notes. “By then, it's too late.” Final Word: Don't Go It Alone For organizations deploying globally—whether into data centers or manufacturing facilities—the message is clear: bringing in a seasoned trade and compliance partner isn't optional. It's essential. To learn more about navigating global deployment and compliance with confidence, visit tecex.com.

How do you turn a passion-fueled event into a six-figure signature offer? Today's case study features Elysia Skye, intuitive mentor and founder of The Brilliance Method®, who generated over $150K in net profit by merging high-end video production, coaching, and energy work into a transformative in-person experience called Content Camp. Each cohort served 11–14 coaches, healers, and authors with themed experiences (including Back to the Future events and manifestation exercises in nature). Ticket options ranged from $2K to $11K—and yet, most attendees chose the $11K VIP tier as their default. Elysia shares how she refined her pricing after initially losing money on VIPs, beta tested her first event through referrals, and transitioned this initial offer into her newer Clarity Camp — her current invite-only offer with even higher margins. Keep listening to hear how designing offers Elysia personally wanted to attend was the secret to consistent demand.
