PRICING 7 forces to factor into your thinking
There are 30-40 pricing experts on the planet. I’m not
one of them. My name is Chris Lema and I’ve been building hosted web-based software (SaaS) since 1994. When it comes to pricing, I’ve just made lots of mistakes.
It’s not just about Price. It’s about environmental scanning, business
modeling & sustainability. 1
It’s not about Demand Curves. You need too many prices.
You need to offer them too long. You need no one else to know. 2
Mass is not a business model. Price products so that
every product or service sale makes sense. 3
The 7 Pricing Forces 4
First, understand the Players in the Market Don’t say you
have no competition. You just sound naïve or silly. 5
Second, understand Your Prospects Knowing their pain and the benefits
of solving those pains helps you know how to set your price. 6
Third, understand Your Positioning You only have three choices –
cheap, competitive, or classy. 7
Fourth, understand Your Profit Margin Know what your “floor” is,
so you can decide if you need to change other parts of your model. 8
Fifth, understand Your Product Strategy Will you sell add-ons? Will
your product have a network effect? 9
Sixth, understand Pricing Psychology Learn what says “premium” and what
says “discount” and leverage it. 10
Seventh, evaluate any Problems with Pricing Sometimes the price isn’t
what’s wrong and lowering prices won’t help you. 11
Special Cases with Pricing • Calculating Hourly Rates • Project-based
Pricing • Scope Creep • Premium Segments 11
