Process

Price your small business in a week

Six steps from a floor price to a price you have tried with real customers

Process for pricing a small business in a week: set a floor, pick recent customers, ask, run a price test, read the reasons, try it.
Six steps you can fit around opening hours.

A six-step plan for a small business owner who needs to set or change a price without a research team. It starts with a floor price, asks about 30 recent customers, runs a short price ladder, reads the reasons behind each answer and ends with a real-money check on new bookings. Koji can run the interviews and the price test, but the steps work with a phone and a notebook.

What's in this process

  1. Write your floor: Add up what each sale costs and what you need to earn. Test nothing below it.
  2. Pick recent customers: People who bought in the last 90 days, plus a few who did not come back.
  3. Send one short ask: A text, email or receipt note with a small thank-you.
  4. Run the price test: Five to seven prices, evenly spaced around today's price.
  5. Read the reasons: Group the why answers before you look at the curve.
  6. Try it for real: Put the new price on new bookings and watch for a month.
