It's Time to Start Charging What You Are Really Worth
There is no doubt that business owners everywhere are under pressure to increase their prices as they face sky rocketingIt's Time to Start Charging What You Are Really Worth
costs. This is unlikely to change in the near future with a grim economic outlook, but not every business owner has the
confidence to increase their prices. The longer they hold off, the less profitable their business becomes.
This keynote presentation is designed to showcase what the benefits are to the business owner when they start to charge
what they are truly worth. Andrew addresses the overall impact this has not only on the business but also on their life overall.
Andrew does a deep dive providing both the inspiration and the practical advice on the following -
• Why now is the right time to start charging more.
• What stops business owners from charging what they are worth (the villains).
• Rethink and redefine how customers value a business
• Understanding that you can’t just triple your prices tomorrow
• Being clear that there is a cost to this process, but it’s a cost most business owners are prepared to pay.
• Focusing on the reward at the end of the process.
The feedback from organisations that have engaged Andrew to deliver this keynote in the last 12 months has been
extraordinary - with testimonials including “the best keynote we’ve seen in 30 years of running our conference” and “now
our businesses have the confidence and the pathway to start charging more for what they do - and they are excited about it”.

Described as "one of Australias leading marketing gurus" Andrew Griffiths has become a household name for business owners in Australia and around the world. Andrew is a specialist business growth and development consultant who has written a series of smart, no nonsense business books that have become international best sellers. Andrews books and his advice in general focus on the fact that most small business owners struggle with the same problems, regardless of where their business is located or what industry they are in. Andrew identified this fact from his first hand experience as a marketing consultant to hundreds of small businesses across virtually every industry. Andrew believes that most small businesses struggle with building their business simply because they feel they dont have the expertise or skills required. They know they need to market and advertise, and they know that they should offer high levels of customer service but they dont know how to go about it.
