Instructions
-
On first 5-8 pricing conversations, lead with value before price: recap pain points discovered, solution value delivered, expected outcomes agreed upon.
-
Present pricing in context: 'Based on [specific value you'll deliver], our investment is [price]' rather than leading with raw numbers.
-
Offer 3 options: Good (meets core needs), Better (recommended, includes value-adds), Best (premium features); anchor on Better as recommended choice.
-
Frame monthly vs annual: show annual pricing with monthly equivalent; highlight annual savings percentage to incentivize upfront commitment.
-
Link price to value metrics: 'For [your expected ROI/time savings/revenue impact], the investment is [price per month/user/transaction]'.
-
Pause after presenting: don't immediately defend or discount; let prospect process; wait for their response before addressing concerns.
-
Track PostHog events: pricing_presented, option_selected, discount_requested, objection_type, deal_progressed.
-
Set pass threshold: Present pricing to ≥5 opportunities in 1 week with ≥60% accepting proposal or requesting only modest adjustments.
-
Measure effectiveness: track acceptance rate, discount request frequency, average discount given, close rate by pricing approach.
-
Document which pricing presentation techniques work best; proceed to Baseline if threshold met.
