3 Option Pricing Tables Part I: The Power of Three

Most professional services firms present prospects with a single proposal and hope it sticks.

But the best firms structure their pricing differently.

In this episode of Breaking BizDev, John Tyreman introduces a powerful concept used across industries—from SaaS to consulting to consumer products: the three-option pricing table.

Why three?

Because the way options are presented dramatically shapes how buyers make decisions. A single option invites hesitation. Too many options create confusion. But three options strike a powerful balance—helping buyers quickly understand value, compare outcomes, and confidently choose.

In Part I: The Power of Three, John explores the psychology behind structured choice and explains why three options consistently outperform traditional proposal formats.

You’ll learn:

• The behavioral science behind structured choice
• Why three options guide better buying decisions
• How option pricing reframes conversations around value instead of cost
• Why this simple structure can increase both close rates and project size

This episode is the first in a series on option pricing for professional services firms.

If you're an expert doer-seller, consultant, or firm owner, this framework can fundamentally change the way you position and price your work.
