Essentially you just need to convince your prospects that the product is worth the price beside it.

I'm glad I could help deadlyminds, and I wish you the best of luck with your sales!

This raises an interesting question though - how does one find and target those clients who will understand and appreciate that better services or products are worth the extra cost?

I have a chapter in an upcoming book devoted to this topic. It's really about marketing finding the correct buying triggers and using them in the advertising. If you'd like to see some of the article, just pm me.

Here is an excerpt from my book chapter:

Price is always an interesting issue with current customers. What’s important for you to know is do they see the value they’re getting for the price they’re paying? If not, you need to find out why. When prospects use the price objection during negotiations, it’s not the price they’re objecting to. It’s the fact that they don’t see value equal to that price. If your current customers feel they paid a fair price for what they received, then you have a good value proposition. A marketing campaign that draws the ‘best’ buyers in as prospects will help your sale people sell your value proposition. In the end, attracting the right buyer will bring someone who understands your value proposition and is willing to pay top dollar for it. It will greatly eliminate the need for discounts. Something every business owner wants to hear!

You could target those customers who have shown similar buying patterns.
