\\n\\nThe Value Paradox: We all want top-notch service without the hefty price tag. However, quality comes at a cost. Andy Bizub explores this conundrum and how it mirrors the choices we make. Consumers often face a choice between the cheapest and the luxurious with little interest in the middle ground. This observation sparked a conversation about how the automotive industry can apply this pricing strategy to their businesses. Remember, it\'s not just about the price; it\'s about the value and experience you provide.\\n\\nAndy Bizub,\\xa0Midwest Performance Cars, Chicago and Northbrook, IL.\\xa0 Andy\\u2019s previous episodes\\xa0HERE.\\n\\n
