[1]

[3]

[6]
going to cover exactly why focusing on
[8]
increasing your perceived value in
[11]
business is a really bad idea and by the

[31]
so here's exactly why increasing your
[33]
perceived value is a bad idea now if you
[37]
think of air what is it that we're
[39]
putting our focus on when we are talking
[41]
about perceived value now our perceived
[45]
value is what do people your customers
[48]
what does somebody think the value of
[50]
your product is and now if you compare
[53]
perceived value to the actual value and
[57]
communicating the actual value of your
[59]
product or service it's a very big
[62]
difference and here's why because
[65]
perceived value is a construct not based
[70]
on or maybe loosely based on but not
[72]
directly linked to the actual value but
[76]
if you're communicating the value the
[78]
actual value then you are focusing and
[81]
putting your attention into what the
[83]
actual value is right there's no extra
[87]
step in that process you're literally
[89]
translating and communicating
[91]
effectively what the actual value is and
[93]
here's why this is so important
[96]
perceived value is coming from a focal
[99]
point and a mindset of how can I get
[102]
someone to see this in the way that I
[105]
want them to see it and that's based on
[108]
manipulation that's based on us creating
[111]
a construct often elaborated often you
[115]
know exaggerated and often you know
[117]
blown up to it or overhype or
[120]
over-promised our product or service but
[123]
it's based on us creating a construct
[126]
and showing it not necessarily the way
[129]
that it is and it's also taking us away
[132]
from the
[133]
most important thing which is how
[135]
valuable is our products and service to
[138]
the people we trying to help and if the
[140]
product is incredibly valuable we don't
[143]
need to increase the perceived value we
[146]
just need to accurately communicate the
[148]
value now don't get me wrong I'll see
[151]
the direct result of accurately
[152]
communicating the actual value in the
[155]
way that it actually helps someone the
[157]
result of that is normally it's gonna be
[160]
the the customers perceived value so the
[163]
value that they see in your product is
[165]
going to increase but that's not where
[167]
you're putting your focus
[169]
you're putting your focus into actually
[171]
delivering value and actually
[172]
communicating that value and the end
[175]
result to that customer from actually
[178]
purchasing your product or service and
[179]
using your product and service the end
[182]
result is they are far more likely to
[184]
actually have the positive impact that
[187]
you've been communicating in the first
[189]
place
[189]
perceived value is creating a big
[192]
disconnect in the you're not necessarily
[195]
communicating the actual value of the
[196]
product and your wording everything in
[199]
your messaging based on a construct of
[201]
the value and the customer then is not
[205]
necessarily getting the exact value of
[208]
the product because they bought the
[209]
product based on a construct of the
[211]
value that we created to get them to
[214]
make the purchase not to get them to
[217]
receive value I have a very different
[220]
focus and especially if we're starting
[223]
in business maybe we haven't started yet
[225]
or we're brand new in business it is
[226]
super duper important to get this wife
[230]
and the word go because the longer that
[233]
we build a business based on a
[235]
foundation of manipulation and a
[238]
foundation of not actually focusing on
[241]
the value of our products and services
[242]
then the longer is going to take for us
[245]
to undo all of that and actually build a
[248]
business on the correct foundations of
[249]
inspiration okay so it's all about
[254]
putting your focus in the right areas
[255]
because we're focus goes energy flows so
[258]
we focus on the value we build our
[260]
business based on the value and then we
[261]
get really good at communicating the
[263]
actual value what we're then gonna end
[266]
up building is a long-term customer base
[268]
of extremely happy extremely loyal
[271]
customers who actually really get
[273]
something out of using our products and
[275]
services and will keep coming back for
[276]
more and recommending their friends and
[278]
family and so on and so forth all right
[281]
really important to make sure we
[283]
distinguish that from the word go so if
[286]
