Looking to chat with anyone who has experience monetizing on-prem products, specifically in the developer space. Some topics I'd like to think through: - Solution-based selling for on-prem offerings - How to upsell with minimal data insights & stonewall customers - The challenges (and benefits) of selling these products in a consumption-crazy/fatigued landscape Happy to provide more context. THANKS!

For the past month, a handful of users have been beta testing PricingSaaS Pulse. The feedback has completely reshaped how I think about the Pulse product. When @John Kotowski and I started PricingSaaS, the goal was to make pricing expertise accessible to the average product team. We'd both witnessed our own versions of pricing paralysis. As a consultant, I watched clients struggle to drive consensus. As a Chief Product Officer, John lived the pain firsthand. Often, when teams are staring down a new launch, they freeze. Not because the team isn't smart. Because there are just so many options, and its hard to cut through the noise and figure out what makes the most sense. Pulse is solving that. The clearest pattern from beta: Pulse works as a pricing intelligence layer that plugs in alongside a team's own internal context. The combination of internal context, and our structured market data is the unlock. On one side: Their documentation, their data, their customer transcripts. On the other: A clean, objective view of what companies are actually doing. The most interesting thing we're seeing: a handful of beta users have started using Pulse to build their own pricing agents. The recommendations those agents are producing are sharp. Specific. Grounded in what's actually shipping. It's the closest thing to a real pricing copilot I've seen. We soft launched last week. If you're a SaaS operator or pricing consultant and you want to take it for a spin, comment here or shoot me a DM and I'll get you squared away.

Curious to hear how other pricing strategists and operators are using AI in their workflows. Are you just getting started, or do you have a full flow built? What tools do you like vs. which tools are causing you the most trouble? I'm especially curious if anyone has developed a way to leverage AI to refine ICPs?? Or if anyone has found any good Claude skill files specific to pricing? I'll kick off! Some context: We're refining our sales-led pricing model at the moment and need to move quickly, so I don't have the support to run formal research. I'm also a team of one at a Series A company that just underwent a massive change in how we deliver our product 😅 I've been using Claude to refine new pricing structures and develop HTML pricing calculators for sales-led deals. I've been funneling context to Claude using our product's MCP server, knowledge files, and more, which have allowed me to develop and pressure-test various pricing strategies that I have then vetted with cross-functional leadership and sales as viable to test. My sales team now has a self-service hub they can rely on to run with these new models for certain deals. The hub provides guidance on choosing a model, the value story for the chosen model, pricing, and ROI calculations. Would love to hear what everyone else is doing!

Hi everyone, and happy holidays! I am kicking off Q1 with a revamp of my current company's enterprise offering structure, from packages to pricing structure. Like many others, we are looking to move away from user-based pricing. I am planning to run WTP research through qualitative interviews to help us better understand the value within our product for large enterprises and to validate the options we have for new metrics to bring into a value-aligned pricing structure. My ask: Does anyone have resources they have found particularly insightful in informing how to set up successful qualitative enterprise WTP studies? Any lessons learned that could help me here? Any input is appreciated! Additional context: We're a Series A SaaS/"on-prem" hybrid product with deep open-source roots (https://www.localstack.cloud/).

Howdy pricing people! Hope you all had a restful break and your year is off to a great start. We're back at it with a fresh Office Hours session with @Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt. Most of you know Ulrik, but if not, he wrote my personal favorite book on pricing, The Pricing Roadmap, and has worked with 200+ B2B SaaS companies as the CEO of Willingness to Pay. We'll be collecting questions in advance (@Alexa Gjonca - already got yours 🫡) and will use the remainder of the hour for live Q&A. The event is next Friday, 1/16, at 10am EST. Register here and drop your questions in the thread below. Look forward to seeing you there! Rob + Ulrik
