Good, better, best: pricing options that sell
One price is a yes-or-no. Three options turns the conversation from 'should I?' to 'which one?' — and quietly raises your average job.
When you give a customer a single price, their only decision is yes or no - and 'no' is easy. When you give them three options, the decision changes to 'which one is right for me,' and you've already won the sale. Tiered pricing is one of the oldest tricks in selling because it works, and most trades never use it.
Why three options beat one
A single quote invites a yes/no and a haggle. Three tiers reframe the whole conversation: now the customer is choosing a level, not deciding whether to buy. Most people avoid the cheapest (feels risky) and the priciest (feels indulgent) and land in the middle - which you can set as your target job.
How to build the tiers
Present them right
Show all three clearly, side by side, with what each includes. Don't push - let the customer choose. Being upfront that there's a budget option builds trust, while the premium tier gives aspirational customers somewhere to go. Either way, you've stopped competing against yourself on a single number.
“The day I switched to three options, my average job jumped. People pick the middle almost every time - I just stopped only offering the cheapest version of everything.”

Common questions
It shines on medium and large jobs. For quick repairs, a single fair price is fine - don't force tiers where they don't fit.
Some will, and that's okay - you set the 'good' tier at a price that still works for you. Most avoid the cheapest and land in the middle.
No - it's a real, higher-value option some customers want, and it anchors the decision so the middle looks reasonable. Both jobs are legit.
