You may be pricing all wrong—ask your customers. When MinIO’s CFO, Mark Khavkin, discovered a critical gap: During a prior CFO chapter - Khavkin discovered his company’s messaging didn’t align with its pricing. By actively listening to customers, he pinpointed where the perceived value drifted from the billed reality. The outcome? Better pricing alignment, deeper trust, and stronger credibility. *Leverage leadership support to access customers firsthand *Ask questions that reveal how customers interpret pricing *Use feedback to refine financial strategies and foster trust The takeaway: Aligning pricing with genuine customer value helps finance leaders stay ahead in a complex marketplace. Khavkin's CFO PLAYBOOK: *Aligns investor narratives with internal operational strategies *Prioritizes direct customer engagement to uncover value insights *Uses data as a tool to test and refine hypotheses *Embraces collaboration and mentorship to enhance leadership impact Khavkin's CFO BOOK PICK: Mark recommends The Qualified Sales Leader to better understand sales processes, buyer psychology, and growth acceleration.
