Anyone have a good short intro on how real world pricing works? Never worked on pricing a day on the job, and in school always had magic supply and demand models drawn from one or another author's fairy world

Lots of factors here, not sure I can provide a super short overview. Ultimately it comes down to what the consumer is willing to spend -haha.

Without knowing the product/industry/consumers, my first suggestion is market research:
- What are consumers already spending in the category
- What are competitors charging
- What are consumers spending in place of a potential solution/project

From there you have a rough starting point to run some some tests/models, etc.

If you’re looking for a more traditional pricing methodology, I’d recommend looking into the Van Westendorp Model / Price Sensitivity Meter.

Look at what we call the “richness of the benefit” in insurance/quality of the product in conjunction with prices of competitors if at all possible to get a better understanding of what consumers are willing to pay and why. Also the growth of each product within a given market YoY for 3-5 years.

All depends on value proposition

Completely depends on the industry. For ex. CPG pricing is vastly different than Enterprise software

Been practicing a year now. Of 6 attorneys, 4 will be retiring soon, and I was brought in to hopefully take over. I am troubled: first that my partners largely provide me with no guidance. They handed me a client with a large quantity of fairly straightforward casework and have been hands off since. There also hasn’t been any talk of a raise/performance review. How should I ask for guidance/mentor ship? How do I ask for a raise, or should I presume one is coming?
