Ditching Hourly

Joe Pine talks about converting services into experiences and shares some thoughts on how to price them.

Show Notes

Long-time listeners may recall an interview that Rochelle and I did a little while back with Joe Pine on The Business of Authority. 

On TBOA, we talked a lot about how to elevate your business from selling services to selling experiences and ultimately to selling transformations (i.e., outcomes) but we didn’t get a chance to talk much about pricing these sorts of higher value offerings. 

So, Joe graciously agreed to join me on Ditching Hourly to talk about just that: 

DH139: Joe Pine on Pricing Experiences

Gilmore wrote the best-selling book The Experience Economy: Work Is Theatre & Every Business a Stage, which demonstrates how goods and services are no longer enough; what companies must offer today are experiences – memorable events that engage each customer in an inherently personal way.
