What to Do When People Cut Your Price? Increase It Instead!

When people ask Tony Chen, CEO of Oppo, to cut his price for his company's latest flagship device R9 Plus to be way below Samsung Galaxy S7, here's what he says, "I prefer to add value". Oppo ended up selling 1 million units in 3 days! 
Oppo's value add has 8 features that others don't have:
  1. 2-years warranty (vs others 1-year, worth at least S$400)
  2. First year free accidental cracked screen repair, worth S$180 
  3. One-to-one exchange for repair, worth the phone itself S$769)
  4. Free 4 screen protector replacements in first year (worth S$60)
  5. Free screen glass protector (worth S$15)
  6. Free back casing protective cover (worth S$15)
  7. Free headphone worth S$80
  8. Free Oppo water bottle worth S$20
Total value add of Oppo: S$1,539 (double the value of the phone S$769)

Discounting creates the perception that you are cheap. When you discount, you encourage price shoppers, not loyal customers. A far better way is to add value. There are 2 magical ways that you too can add value easily:
  1. Throw in free delivery, free packaging and free goods (this is how you move slow moving goods)
  2. Offer something of high perceived value but almost zero cost to you. This could just be a fact sheet or after-sale service.
Imagine your workshop offered you $30 off your next vehicle service. That's attractive but will cut into the workshop's profits immediately. We teach our client to add value instead of discounting. Here's how he can add value:
The workshop can throw in a free wheel alignment (value at $45, but zero cost to workshop as the equipment is there), a 1-litre premium engine oil (value at $19.90 bu only $5 purchase cost to the workshop), or a engine clean (value $30 but cost is negligible). By doing these the workshop has added $95 of value to the customer. The cost to the workshop is only $25, lower than the $30 price discount but giving the customer 3 times value than the price discount. 
In the end, the added value will bring you more customers and cost you less. It also introduces customers to your other offerings. So the next time when your customer asks you for discount, don't discount. Add value instead.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages ...
