The Three Pricing Questions

SaaS or XaaS, ask yourself these questions before designing your pricing model:

  1. What should you charge for?
    This is your Pricing Metric, and it should be aligned to your customer’s Value Metric
  2. How to charge?
    This is your Pricing Model.
    It can be “Good Better Best”, include membership or other fees, based on usage or tiered, flat subscription or varied based on customer segments, etc.
  3. How Much to charge?
    Your Price Point is not static.
    It should be frequently revised and tested to reflect changes in market dynamic, customer’s metrics and overall business strategy.
Core Pricing Concepts

If you just started looking into Pricing and you find it all a bit confusing, we’ve put together a little cheat sheet to help you organise your thoughts and start your journey with clarity and focus.

  1. Value Perception
    Customer’s Value Perception Drives Price. Not Cost!
    * It is different across customer segments
  2. Willingness to Pay
    Can be measured, analysed, and influenced.
    * It, too, varies across customer segments.
  3. Price Sensitivity
    This is a powerful tool, when used correctly
    It can be Descriptive, using a demand model to show the relationship between price and volume.
    Or used as a Predictive tool, i.e. when using Price Elasticity to estimate the impact of a price change on sales, and by that, facilitate a series of in-depth pricing optimisation decisions.
  4. Advanced Pricing Analytics
    Is a collection of methodologies and analysis techniques that help break down your services, features, and products into groups.
    Each of these groups should have it’s own Pricing Strategy based on the distribution density of the group across Commercial Impact Metrics.
    We use these to identify and group items, identify relationship between groups, and inform decision making regarding promotions, discounts, and new product / service / feature pricing.
  5. Deal Negotiation
    When you have only a few customers (B2B) with each of them representing a high percentage of your yearly revenue.
    Each of these customers should have their own pricing, terms, and deal structure modeled uniquely to their needs and yours.
Avoid This Pricing Mistake:
Don’t Copy Your Competitor’s Pricing Model

Pricing models are designed to monetise value.
We optimise them to leverage on what you do best.
If you copy a competitor’s pricing model, You are now charging for what They do best!

Design your pricing around your unique value proposition and relative advantage.
