In his 2012 book, The Marketing Agency Blueprint, Roetzer advocated for the end to billable hours, and the need for agencies to move to value-based pricing that directly ties activities to outcomes. This session is an inside look at his efforts the last four years to discover PR 20/20's "value metric," and build an entirely new pricing system. Roetzer will share origins of the concept, challenges faced in constructing the model, lessons learned in rolling it out to clients, and tips for how agencies can reimagine their own pricing models to drive growth and unlock profits.

- 3. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com I spent the first six years of my marketing agency career chasing hourly quotas instead of results.
- 5. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer Yes, we cared if the client was happy and successful, but the fundamental economic driving force behind the firm's existence, and my career potential, was the billable hour.
- 6. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer I discovered early on that the billable-hour model was a flawed, archaic, agency-centric system that wrongly tied agency performance to outputs, not outcomes.
- 7. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer In 2004, four years into my career, I became highly motivated to build a more efficient and profitable solution that shifted the focus to client needs and goals.
- 8. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer The idea was centered on making services tangible, with clearly defined costs, features and benefits, almost like buying a product off a retail shelf or signing up for a software service.
- 9. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com My theory was that if clients understood exactly what they were getting, and agreed ahead of time what it was worth, we could remove the mystery from the equation and focus on delivering value and results.
- 10. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer The problem was that the billable-hour model was the only one I had ever known.
- 11. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com @paulroetzer How would I build an entirely new financial model and productize a service business?
- 12. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com “The guiding principle was that set prices had to be value based, meaning they were to be determined based on perceived and actual value rather than the number of billable hours something takes to complete.”

- 30. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com In practice, many teams use a relative size measure such as story points or ideal days. In Scrum, it’s not about how much work you start; it’s about what customer-valuable work you finish. What we are trying to avoid is work that adds no short-term or long-term economic value. seeking inspiration Epics, Stories and Sprints
- 31. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com Epics, Stories and Sprints were too abstract, so we simplified the concepts for marketers. Epics = Projects Stories = Tasks Sprints = Campaigns seeking inspiration

- 48. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com Each project within a campaign is assigned a fixed- point total (e.g. blog post = 3 points) based on value creation rather than hourly estimates. Points are allocated by campaigns and goal type (i.e. brand, leads, sales, loyalty), and therefore always tied to performance. Points provide total transparency into pricing, progress, performance and resource allocation. point pricing basics Every point has a purpose.

- 56. @paulroetzer #INBOUND15!! www.pr2020.com assigning point values Agencies can’t accurately predict hours due to variables such as professional competency, focus, efficiency and forecaster bias. The higher the number, the more uncertain the forecast. The Fibonacci sequence reflects this uncertainty.
