Pricing and profitability strategy

We’ll ensure your pricing reflects the true value of your offerings, covers operational costs, and supports sustainable profitability. In addition to competitor analysis and margin review, we’ll:

  • Identify underperforming products or services that may be draining resources or diluting your brand

  • Recommend adjustments or eliminations to streamline your offerings and focus on what drives revenue

  • Explore opportunities to increase customer value through bundling, tiered pricing, or premium positioning

  • Uncover ways to differentiate your business in a crowded market—whether through messaging, packaging, or service enhancements

This service empowers you to make data-driven decisions, refine your business model, and price with confidence—so you can grow profitably without compromising quality.

AI Integration & Strategy

Guidance on how to identify, select, and implement AI tools that streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and improve decision-making. This includes evaluating platforms for automation, analytics, marketing, and customer service. AI isn’t just for big tech—it’s a powerful tool for small businesses too. With the right strategy, AI can save time, reduce costs, and unlock new growth opportunities. This service helps you adopt AI confidently and ethically, without the overwhelm.

Ongoing, part-time financial guidance tailored for small businesses that need strategic support without the cost of a full-time CFO or financial manager. This service includes regular check-ins, financial planning, performance tracking, and decision support. Many small businesses operate without dedicated financial leadership, which can lead to missed opportunities or costly mistakes. Fractional coaching provides expert insight and accountability—flexibly and affordably—so you can make confident, informed decisions as your business grows.
