The $2.3M they left on the table — without knowing it:

A B2B SaaS company at $4M ARR had not changed their pricing in three years. Their product had tripled in capability — automation, integrations, advanced analytics, an API — but the price was still $49/month, set during a late-night founder debate in 2022.

Their VP of Sales suspected they were underpriced. Win rates on price-discussed deals were 87%. Customers regularly said "that is less than I expected." One enterprise prospect laughed and said "Wait, that is it?" during a demo.

But the founders were afraid to change. What if customers churned? What if competitors undercut them? So they did what most SaaS companies do: nothing.

We ran Van Westendorp research with 200 of their customers. The Optimal Price Point came back at $89/month — 82% higher than their current price. Their $49 price was below the Point of Marginal Cheapness — meaning some customers actually questioned the product's quality because the price was too low.

They raised to $79/month for new customers with a 12-month grandfather for existing customers. First-year impact:

+61% ARPU
New customers at $79, existing migrating over 12 months
+0.3pp Churn
From 2.1% to 2.4% monthly — within noise
+$2.3M ARR
Net revenue impact within 18 months
515:1 ROI
Even a 5% improvement on $1M ARR = $50K/yr against a $197 investment
The Problem

Why Most SaaS Companies Are Leaving 20-40% of Revenue on the Table

McKinsey found that a 1% improvement in pricing yields an 11.1% improvement in operating profit. Yet the average SaaS company spends fewer than 10 hours per year on pricing decisions.

🎲

Guesswork Pricing

You picked a price during a founder brainstorm, anchored to what "felt right," and never validated it with customer data. Your price might be 30% too low or 15% too high — you don't know because you've never measured.

📋

Copycat Pricing

You looked at what competitors charge and priced yourself "a little less." But their pricing was built for their value metric and their customer segments — not yours. Copying their price means inheriting their mistakes.

🔒

Fear of Change

You know your pricing is wrong, but you're afraid to change it. What if customers leave? So you do nothing — and the revenue you could capture compounds against you every month.

Who It's For

Is This Right for You?

This is for you if:

  • You are a SaaS founder or revenue leader at $500K-$20M ARR
  • You set your pricing in a meeting and have never validated it with data
  • Your win rate on pricing discussions is suspiciously high (above 80%)
  • You have shipped significant new features without adjusting pricing
  • More than 60% of customers are on your lowest tier

This is NOT for you if:

  • You are building a consumer app — this framework is designed for B2B SaaS
  • You are pre-product with no paying customers
  • You want someone to tell you exactly what to charge — this is a decision framework, not a prescription
  • You already have a mature, data-driven pricing practice with regular WTP research
"Early adopter feedback coming soon. This workbook is built on the same pricing frameworks used to drive $500M+ in SaaS revenue decisions — now available as a self-guided system."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

This is the most common use case. Most SaaS companies set pricing once and never revisit it systematically. The workbook helps you validate what is working, identify what is not, and fix the gaps. The 2-hour Fastest Path in the Quick Start Checklist is designed specifically for teams with existing pricing who need a quick diagnostic.
A pricing consultant costs $10K-$50K+ and takes 2-3 months. This workbook gives you the same frameworks, worksheets, and decision tools for $197 and a week of your time. The trade-off: you do the work yourself. For companies at $500K-$20M ARR, this is the right trade-off — you know your customers and market better than any outside consultant.
The Value Metric Selector will help you identify this — and design the right model. The Price Change Playbook covers structural pricing changes (changing your model entirely), not just price point changes. It includes communication strategies for the most difficult scenario: telling customers you are changing how you charge, not just how much.
The 5-day plan allocates 2-3 hours per day (10-15 hours total). You can compress it into a 2-day intensive or spread it over several weeks. The Fastest Path (diagnostic and one priority area) takes under 2 hours.
Yes. The license covers your entire product and revenue team. We encourage you to use the team workshop format — pricing strategy is cross-functional, and alignment across product, sales, marketing, and CS is critical.

Your Pricing Is Either a Strategy or a Guess

Every month without a pricing strategy is another month of revenue left on the table. ProfitWell's data says systematic pricing optimization yields 15-25% ARPU improvement. On $1M ARR, that is $150K-$250K. For $197, you can make it a strategy.
