Read this if any of these are true
- You have one or two offers and no path between them.
- Your prices came from a gut feeling you have never revisited.
- People say yes to the free thing and never buy anything after it.
- You want a bigger offer but cannot see what would justify the price.
What is inside
Six chapters. The five rungs defined, the pricing logic behind each, and three complete ladders worked through end to end.
Why One Offer Is a Ceiling
A single price point caps both how much any customer can spend with you and how much you can learn about what buyers actually want.
The Five Rungs and What Each One Is For
Each rung has one job, and a rung doing the wrong job is the most common structural fault in a small business.
Pricing Psychology Without the Tricks
Prices are read in relation to other prices, which means the spacing of your ladder does more work than any individual number.
Three Stacks, Built Rung by Rung
Three different businesses, three complete ladders, and the reasoning behind every price on them.
Diagnosing the Missing or Broken Rung
Most ladder problems announce themselves through a specific symptom, and each symptom points at a specific rung.
Sequencing: What to Build First, Second, and Not Yet
Build order decides whether the ladder pays for itself while you construct it or drains you until it is finished.
Plus the working material
Three appendices for auditing and mapping your own ladder.
- The Ladder Audit Checklist
- Five Rung Mapping Worksheet
- Pricing Decision Reference
Questions
What exactly do I get?
A 37-page PDF. It downloads instantly after checkout and prints cleanly if you prefer paper.
Is this for services or products?
Both. Chapter 4 works through three deliberately different businesses - a service business, a digital-product business and a local physical business - so you can find the shape closest to yours.
I only have one offer. Too early?
No. That is the situation the book is written for. Chapter 6 tells you what to build first, second and third, and what to leave alone until later.
