Pricing Strategy Template
Establish a pricing atrategry to acquire and retain customers.
Why use this template?
We hired a consulting agency to help our venture-backed, B2B SaaS company determine an effective pricing strategy.
They spent 8 weeks with us. They ran us through various pricing exercises, conducted customer surveys, and researched the competitive landscape.
It was truly an exhaustive process that cost us $40,000.
We ultimately decided to change our pricing model and our revenue grew an incremental 5%. At the time, that equalled a $500,000 increase in revenue on a base of $10 million. So, it turned out to be a worthwhile investment for us.
However, it doesn't always turn out that way.
My hope is that this Pricing Strategy Template gets you to the same outcome without having to spend tens of thousands of dollars on expensive consultants.

- Continue to evaluate and test new pricing assumptions at minimum once per year.
Pricing is often overlooked and underestimated as a growth driver.
At one point, having made little to no improvement to our product, we just raised prices.
Some customers churned. But, the net effect was that revenue went up and retention of the customers that stuck around, actually went up too.
