PRICING

OFFERING #3

PRICING

WHEN IT COMES UP, WHY IT COMES UP
You're too expensive. I can't raise my prices. Pricing will always be at the beginning or end of every sale.

Luckily, with a little work, pricing can work for us.

By using group accounts, leveraging discounts for new products, and explaining cup costs, we can remove the stigma attached to price.

YOU'RE TOO EXPENSIVE!

  • Farmer Brothers yields more
  • Cost per Cup
  • Free Equipment
  • Your expertise
Many objections center around our cost per goods, and how high they can be when compared to Jetro or Costco.

Your customers are, of course, correct some of the time, but are missing some key components.

Most FB products yield more servings than the competition.

Our beverages, when broken down to cup cost, are extremely affordable, with Tea taking the lead.

We furnish the customer's establishment with equipment! Expensive, expensive equipment!

Lastly, compared to the brick and mortar stores, they are not receiving your expertise or recommendations.

WORK TOOL: PRICING INS

  • Group accounts
  • Chain accounts
  • National accounts
  • Just-make-the-sale accounts
Being in a group typically feels good. Knowing you belong to a group and you receive a discount because of it is even better.

Ask existing customers for other businesses they know of. They may be eligible for a discount if others sign up!

Soliciting can be made a little easier when you explain we already have a group account for their market section.

Are they nationwide? Good news! We have national accounts.

Use a discount to secure more business.
