ESSENTIAL GLOSSARY / THE DEFINITION

Sustainable Price Ceiling

A price you can charge again without undoing the reasons people pay it.

FROM THE ORIGINAL BOOK GLOSSARY

Sustainable Price Ceiling describes the upper price range a product or service can sustain repeatedly under defined and comparable conditions without, in doing so, persistently reducing the capabilities and relationships that sustain its value and future demand.

It is neither the highest price achieved nor a permanent figure.

THINK ABOUT IT

How long can this price work without changing the product people want?

A high price may work once. To know whether it can last, look at the experience, demand and what customers are prepared to keep buying.
