Why Ideas Get Ignored & How to Win the Yes

Influence isn't persuasion. It's an economic exchange - and pricing is the most rigorous framework ever built for understanding what people truly value.

The Price of Influence - pre-order now

Turning ideas into impact

Smart people get ignored every day.

Not because their ideas are wrong - but because they've mispriced them.

For the first time, The Price of Influence examines influence through the lens of the people who price your iPhone, your insurance, and your mortgage - professionals who understand exactly why people say yes, and why they don't.

Regardless of your industry, pricing and influence follow the same rules:

  1. 01Your idea is the product
  2. 02The people you need a yes from are your buyers
  3. 03To win the yes, you exchange value for agreement

The Price of Influence is for professionals who think in numbers - and are ready to start winning on it.

She finally realised: great pricers have been doing this all along. They just never called it influence.
