What problem does it solve?
Pricing decisions are often guesswork that leave revenue on the table or block adoption; this Skill provides structured research methods and frameworks to set prices, choose value metrics, and design tiered packaging that align price with customer-perceived value and business goals.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pricing research & analysis: Guides Van Westendorp, MaxDiff, Gabor-Granger, and conjoint approaches to measure willingness to pay and feature importance.
- Value metric and tier design: Recommends value metrics, tier separation, and Good-Better-Best structures with persona mapping and anchoring strategies.
- Testing and rollout planning: Advises price experiments (new-customer cohorts, geographic tests, feature-based tests), price increase strategies, and communication templates for existing customers.
- Enterprise and packaging guidance: Defines when to add contact-sales tiers, enterprise value-adds (SSO, SLAs, dedicated support), and hybrid freemium/trial approaches.
- Use Case Example: For a B2B SaaS targeting SMBs, run a Van Westendorp survey by persona, map MaxDiff feature utilities to tiers, pick a per-user value metric, and recommend a 3-tier Good/Better/Best price ladder with testing plan.
