Why Underpricing Happens
Underpricing often stems from one or more of the following reasons:
- Fear of Losing Clients. New business owners may believe that lower prices will make their offerings more appealing, especially when competing with established industries.
- Lack of Confidence in Value. Some entrepreneurs aren’t sure how much their expertise or products are really worth, so they feel the need to prove themselves by offering discounts.
- Short-Term Growth Mindset. When your focus shifts towards attracting clients quickly, it can overshadow the importance of sustainable revenue and profitability.
