“Honestly, this was one of the most valuable things I’ve ever spent money on. The thought process behind what you’ve developed has the power to completely change the way an agency owner thinks about selling their services. I’d have paid $10,000 for this had I known how valuable it would be.”

The Story of Point Pricing

As Paul Roetzer wrote in The Marketing Agency Blueprint, the guiding principle behind eliminating billable hours, and other archaic, agency-centric pricing models, is that prices must be value based. This means your agency prices are determined based on perceived and actual value rather than the number of hours something takes to complete.

But, when The Marketing Agency Blueprint was published in December 2011, Roetzer and PR 20/20 hadn’t “cracked the code.” The agency had used some variation of standardized services and set pricing since its founding in 2005, but struggled to find a single value metric upon which to build a new model.

Then, in late 2012, Roetzer conceived of using points. He wanted something that felt different, but wasn’t too abstract for clients to understand. He envisioned a pricing mechanism that subconsciously conveyed that marketing dollars were an investment, not an expense, and that every dollar spent had a purpose and represented incremental progress toward a goal.

It took more than 12 months to build and test the financial and operational models (e.g. time tracking, project management, invoicing, etc.) needed to convert the agency to points, and then PR 20/20 began methodically rolling it out to clients in January 2014.

Point pricing was born.

The Impact and Spread of Points

Other agencies have begun shifting to points, and HubSpot is even advocating for the adoption of a point-based pricing system within its growth driven website design training program. Hopefully, as the industry gradually shifts away from billable hours and other more opaque pricing models, we can collectively progress toward true value-based pricing.

The Point Pricing for Agencies is designed to give firms the resources and knowledge to accelerate pricing transformation and drive productivity, profitability and performance.
