  1. “The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power... If you’ve got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you’ve got a very good business.

  2. “Perhaps the reason price is all your customers care about is because you haven’t given them anything else to care about.”– Seth Godin, best selling author and marketing guru [All Marketers Are Liars, 2005].
