KHI ban da co bang chung (case study, testimonial, media mention), pricing theo authority — KHONG theo gio cong.

• 1-1 coaching 3 thang KHONG = 12 buoi x 1tr/buoi = 12tr
• 1-1 coaching 3 thang = "Thay doi cuoc song / business cua ban" = 40-80tr

Cong thuc: Outcome value / Time saved / Risk removed. Khach KHONG mua gio, ho mua ket qua.

Value-based pricing (B2B advisory)

Cho founder advisory:

Pricing = 5-10% gia tri ROI ma khach kha nang dat duoc trong 12 thang

Vi du: Khach co cong ty doanh thu 5ty/nam, advisory giup tang 30% (1.5ty). Pricing fair = 75-150tr/quy = 25-50tr/thang.

Anchor pricing (course)

Khi launch course, dat 3 tier:

• Tier A (anchor cao): 9.9tr — full mentorship + cohort + 1-1
• Tier B (target ban): 4.9tr — full course + community
• Tier C (entry): 1.9tr — full course self-paced

70% buyer chon Tier B vi co Tier A lam anchor. Khong co Tier A → buyer thay Tier B dat.

> Pricing trong USD ($497, $997) co cam giac premium hon voi audience tre VN co exposure quoc te. Pricing VND (12tr, 19tr) on hon voi audience trung nien VN.

3 anti-pattern pricing

1. Hourly rate cap — coach 500K/buoi → khach mua 4 buoi het 2tr → audience nghi "coach re" → khong gia tri
2. Fix gia chung 1 lan — KHONG bao gio tang gia → audience moi vao thay = audience cu → khong tao urgency
3. Discount > 30% — sale 50% off thuong xuyen → audience training cho sale, khong bao gio mua full price
