Project details

What we need
  • Analysis of Organization’s target audience, competition, costs and products/services
  • Recommendations for pricing for existing products/services
  • Assessment of whether any products/services should be discontinued or offered at differential price points based on constituents’ needs
Additional details

Our organization provides training to 8 large urban school districts in California and approximately 56,000 educators within our collaborative. We currently charge annual dues to our districts, but our pricing structure is outdated. We need some help figuring out the right price for our services and the dues we charge our 8 school districts. We are also planning on expanding our programs and need help pricing that out as well.

What we have in place
  • We currently have our dues structure and contracts for each district, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have financial reports, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,868 , allowing us to reduce our overall deficit

We are working to self-sustain and become less reliant on grant funding. This project will help us create a pricing structure that will allow us to expand our programs without depleting our cash flow/reserves.

Testimonials

Robert was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, and helpful when we engaged him to help us with our pricing structure! He helped us craft a simplified pricing template that we could use this year and in future years. He came to every meeting with very helpful insight around pricing models, the psychology of pricing. Beyond that, he made sure to build relationships with us, listened intently to our needs, and seemed to genuinely care about our success as an organization. We were very lucky to have been able to work with Robert and highly recommend his services!

Pricing Strategy Project

Brenda and Rick were a great team to work with and get to solve some pricing challenges together! CORE Districts provides a unique set of services and value to California schools, and I enjoyed learning from them about various building blocks in their value proposition and thinking about what their services are worth. Brenda was particularly effective leading the project and canvassing internal resources as needed, as well as elusive data points. The work will leave them much better prepared to navigate COVID and other funding challenges and reach a stronger financial position. I am thankful for all I learned about CA schools and what it takes to help their students succeed!
