The Vice President of Engineering of Galen is an old woman who claims that PowerPoint is "rotting the brains of executives everywhere" and insists on reading something printed out. You hand her your business plan, and she dons her old, horn-rimmed glasses to read it.
When she gets to your revenue section, she chuckles a little. "I will let you in on a little tip," she says. "Because you are young and cute, and because I am retiring in two weeks."
"Yes?"
"We are going to turn around and sell these for a hundred times what you are charging here. So you may as well charge us more."
You're a little stunned as you work out the implications. "You're going to charge a hundred million dollars a robot?"
Josh beams at this figure. "Finally! This is our big break!"
"And that's cheap," she says lightly. "Medical equipment is expensive. If you've been selling robots for any less, you probably didn't get buyers because they thought it was junk and mentally added the price of a lawsuit." When she studies your stunned expression, she adds, "Oh, I could sit here and talk for hours about how the economics of this business is broken because of insurance and MediCare and so forth. But that's not really what you're here for, is it?"
Will you raise your prices to what the Vice President of Engineering suggests?
1) Hell yes! Let's be rich!
2) Let's get Galen to agree to sell the robots to hospitals at a more affordable price.
3) Wait, she said her price was on the cheap side. Let's increase the prices further.
