4. Funnel Cu The Tung Nhom
4.1 Founder Funnel
Conversion benchmark VN: LinkedIn → Newsletter 5-12%, Newsletter → Discovery call 1-3%, Discovery call → Advisory 30-50%.

5. Pricing Psychology Ca Nhan
Authority pricing (premium)
KHI ban da co bang chung (case study, testimonial, media mention), pricing theo authority — KHONG theo gio cong.
- 1-1 coaching 3 thang KHONG = 12 buoi x 1tr/buoi = 12tr
- 1-1 coaching 3 thang = "Thay doi cuoc song / business cua ban" = 40-80tr
Cong thuc: Outcome value / Time saved / Risk removed. Khach KHONG mua gio, ho mua ket qua.
Value-based pricing (B2B advisory)
Cho founder advisory:
Pricing = 5-10% gia tri ROI ma khach kha nang dat duoc trong 12 thang
Vi du: Khach co cong ty doanh thu 5ty/nam, advisory giup tang 30% (1.5ty). Pricing fair = 75-150tr/quy = 25-50tr/thang.
Anchor pricing (course)
Khi launch course, dat 3 tier:
- Tier A (anchor cao): 9.9tr — full mentorship + cohort + 1-1
- Tier B (target ban): 4.9tr — full course + community
- Tier C (entry): 1.9tr — full course self-paced
70% buyer chon Tier B vi co Tier A lam anchor. Khong co Tier A → buyer thay Tier B dat.
VN context: USD vs VND
| Audience | Currency | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| B2B VN startup / SME | VND | Quen, de quy doi ngan sach |
| Coach VN audience | VND | Don nhat, tranh confusion |
| Creator co audience global | USD + VND | Stripe/PayPal global, VND cho VN |
| Founder advisory cho corp | VND co the cao | Corp budget tinh USD nhung pay VND |
Pricing trong USD ($497, $997) co cam giac premium hon voi audience tre VN co exposure quoc te. Pricing VND (12tr, 19tr) on hon voi audience trung nien VN.
3 anti-pattern pricing
- Hourly rate cap — coach 500K/buoi → khach mua 4 buoi het 2tr → audience nghi "coach re" → khong gia tri
- Fix gia chung 1 lan — KHONG bao gio tang gia → audience moi vao thay = audience cu → khong tao urgency
- Discount > 30% — sale 50% off thuong xuyen → audience training cho sale, khong bao gio mua full price
6. Outreach Inbound vs Outbound
Inbound (warm — content driven)
- SEO long-form: bai 2000 tu rank top Google → 3-12 thang ROI
- Social content: LinkedIn / FB / IG / TikTok → 1-3 thang co lead
- Referral: cu khach gioi thieu → free, conversion >50%
- Newsletter: warm list, conversion 5-15% cho offer mid-tier
Conversion chung: Inbound lead → Buyer 3-15% (cao vi da pre-qualify).
Outbound (cold — proactive)
- Cold DM LinkedIn: 50-100 DM/tuan → 5-15% reply → 1-2% book call
- Cold email: 100-200 email/tuan → 3-8% reply → 0.5-1% book call
- Paid ads: Meta/TikTok ads → 1-3% landing CVR → 10-20% nurture buyer
Conversion chung: Outbound lead → Buyer 0.5-3% (thap vi cold).
Khi nao dung cai nao
| Tinh huong | Inbound | Outbound |
|---|---|---|
| Audience da co >2000 | Yes | No can |
| Audience <500, can lead nhanh | No | Yes |
| Don gia >50tr (advisory) | Yes (chinh) | Yes (bo sung) |
| Don gia <2tr (course) | Yes (chinh) | Paid ads ngon |
| Niche B2B nho | Yes | Cold email tot |
| Niche B2C mass | Yes | Paid ads chinh |
Combo tot nhat VN 2026: Inbound content xay tin (12 thang) + Outbound cold DM cho deal lon (advisory) + Paid ads cho course launch (booster).
7. Brand Deal Negotiation Cho Creator
Floor price formula (cong thuc gia san)
Floor price (VND) = CPM × Follower / 1000 × Engagement multiplier × Format multiplier
- CPM VN 2026: 100K-300K (TikTok), 80K-250K (IG), 50K-200K (FB)
- Engagement multiplier: 0.5x (ER<2%), 1x (ER 2-5%), 1.5x (ER 5-10%), 2x (ER>10%)
- Format multiplier: 1x (story), 2x (post feed), 3x (reel/video), 4x (livestream)
Vi du: Creator 50K TikTok, ER 6%, brand muon 1 video. Floor = 200K × 50 × 1.5 × 3 = 45tr. Brand chao 15tr → KHONG nhan, counter 35tr.
Cac dieu khoan can dam phan
| Dieu khoan | Bao ve creator | Bao ve brand |
|---|---|---|
| Exclusivity | Toi 7-30 ngay (KHONG vinh vien) | Brand muon 90 ngay |
| Usage rights | 30-90 ngay organic, +50% cho ads | Brand muon vinh vien + ads |
| Whitelisting (chay ads tren acc) | +30-50% gia | Brand thich vi authentic |
| Revision | Toi 2 round | Brand muon unlimited |
| Cancellation | Phi cancel 50% neu <7 ngay | Brand muon free cancel |
| Payment terms | 50% truoc, 50% sau post | Brand muon NET 30-60 |
5 negotiation tactic VN
- Khong bao gia truoc — hoi brand budget truoc ("Anh chi co budget bao nhieu cho deal nay?")
- Co rate card — gui media kit + price list → trong nghiem tuc, khong "tra gia bua"
- Bundle deal — 1 video reel + 3 story = 1.3x gia 1 video (KHONG 4x — fair cho brand)
- Tang gia 20-30% moi quy sau khi co 2-3 deal → train brand quen voi tang gia
- Tu choi deal duoi floor — neu chap nhan duoi floor 1 lan, brand network share rate thap → nguoi sau cung tra thap
VN reality: brand pay 30-50% less than US/SG
- US creator 50K = $1500-3000/post (~37-75tr VND)
- SG creator 50K = SGD 800-1500 (~15-28tr VND)
- VN creator 50K = 8-20tr VND (uoc tinh)
Ly do: Budget brand VN thap, agency middleman lay 20-30% cut, creator supply nhieu. Cach tang gia: build niche authority (B2B / fintech / luxury) → CPM cao gap 3-5x mass entertainment.
