Description

Most software development companies are not prepared for the harsh realities of the AI era.

AI multiplies developers’ productivity and dramatically increases business value of work.

Under these conditions, hourly billing has become obsolete, as the value of business results is completely divorced from the time and effort invested.

This requires new business models and new approaches to pricing to capture a fair share of value and avoid commoditisation.

This webinar will explore:

  • how to stop selling time and start selling business value

  • how to stand out and avoid commoditization

  • what are some practical steps to take.

Pricing Strategist

Pricing mistakes can be very costly for B2B tech companies. I will gladly show you the most common ones, so you can avoid them. In a 30-minutes call we can identify some quick wins for your pricing (it’s free, no strings attached). The more attention you give it, the more chances you have to optimize your pricing model. This means increased conversion rates and higher ARR for you. Here is an example from a pricing project I did for a Scaleup in 2021. I helped them change their pricing metrics, updated the entire pricing model and increased prices for existing customers. Results: 32% increase of ARR on existing customers; major boost to NRR (Net Revenue Retention), big increase in conversion rate from free to paid.
