Introduction: focus on the framework!
- What is your overall strategy for pricing?
- Most companies are not spending enough time on their pricing
- We live in a dense world when it comes to growth strategies, so nailing pricing is key!
Subscription growth has changed dramatically.
- Competition is rampant – 5 years ago, the average number of competitors for most companies was 3, but for companies started during 2017, that number is closer to 10.
- Sales and marketing channels don’t grow as quickly as they used to.
- Customer acquisition cost has increased dramatically, while customer willingness to pay has decreased.
You’re Growing Your Business Incorrectly.
- Historically, companies have focused almost exclusively on acquisition but it is incredibly expensive to acquire new customers.
- Monetization and retention are 4-8x more effective for growth than acquisition.
- A lack of focus on customer development lowers the potential life-time value of your service for your customer.
How You Can Take Advantage of the Market Through Pricing
- The one thing you must do when figuring out pricing is to talk to your customer! Set up a feedback queue however makes the most sense for your team.
- Value-based pricing is key, and that means understanding your customer.
- Add revenue values to your buyer personas to prioritize strategically.
- Survey your customers! There’s a right way to go about this.
Summary
- A recap of the most important takeaways from the webinar.
