SHOW NOTES:
In our last episode about Courses Vs. Memberships, we briefly mentioned value ladders and how they can help your business. Both of us LOVE talking about value ladders in businesses, so we thought we’d do a whole episode about them. Today, we’ll break down what a value ladder is and why it can be so magical for your business! To us, there’s nothing more exciting than thinking through the strategy of value ladders and offers in our businesses. We love helping each other, our students, and our listeners to determine how to build a ladder well! Before we dive into the entire episode, we want to quickly explain what a value ladder is. Essentially, it’s looking at your products and services then structuring them in a way that leads perfectly from one to the next. With that in mind, let’s dive in!

- What “value ladder” means and where it came from (1:21)
