  Willingness to Pay Simpleexample: How much are you willing to pay for a bottle of water right now? Chances are little to not even a penny, you might have one on your side right now. You just finished a your workout routine, how much are you willing to pay for a bottle of water? Probably a couple of bucks but nothing beyond what you know you’d have to pay outside the gym. You are stranded on the dessert… you get the idea Willingness to Pay is driven by the sense of loss on a customer if they don’t get their need resolved Customers / new deals / certification Intellectual property / Uninterrupted operation Freedom
