Pricing

Every 1% improvement in pricing drops ~10% to the bottom line in most businesses. Yet pricing gets less attention than any other metric.

Three approaches

• Cost-plus (weak): cost + margin
• Competitor-based (lazy): what others charge
• Value-based (best): fraction of value delivered

Signals to raise price

• Close rate above 50% (leaving money on table)
• Low price sensitivity in sales objections
• Meaningful LTV without equivalent CAC justification

Packaging

• Good-better-best often outperforms single-price
• Anchor with premium tier
• Most customers pick middle (by design)
