In this episode of The KBB Unstoppable Business Owner Podcast, host Kevin D. Bannister tackles a crucial question: Are you charging enough? Many business owners fall into the trap of under pricing, believing it will attract more customers. However, this often leads to thin profit margins, cash flow struggles, and business instability. Kevin breaks down why this happens and introduces a three-step model, The Top Margin, to help you set prices that reflect your true value and ensure profitability.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The real consequences of underpricing your products or services
✅ Why setting prices based on competitors can be a costly mistake
✅ How to calculate your true costs, including hidden expenses
✅ The critical difference between markup and margin—and why it matters
✅ How to position your value instead of competing on price
✅ Why pricing should be an ongoing strategy, not a one-time decision
✅ Practical steps to adjust and reinforce a profitable pricing model
