INSIGHT

Two True Ways Net Income Moves

  • Net income moves only by increasing revenue per unit or decreasing cost per unit.
  • Small improvements in pricing and efficiency can outpace growth-focused strategies.
ADVICE

Increase Revenue Per Transaction

  • Ask what your average revenue per customer or deal actually is and whether it's intentional.
  • Raise price modestly (even 1–2%) to let gains fall almost entirely to net income.
ADVICE

Practice Pricing Discipline

  • Stop discounting by default and refuse to avoid price conversations.
  • Defend your value clearly and apply pricing discipline to protect margin.
