Round 22
Pricing Strategy for a New Product
A software company is preparing to launch a new B2B product aimed at mid-market teams. The product has strong early feedback, but demand is uncertain and the company wants to balance revenue growth, market penetration, and long-term positioning. The team needs to choose a pricing strategy before launch, with constraints including a limited sales team, a 6-month runway to prove traction, and concern that an aggressive price could anchor expectations too low for future enterprise expansion. The decision should consider conversion rates, customer quality, willingness to pay, ease of expansion, and how the chosen model affects positioning against competitors. Reasonable experts disagree on whether the best path is to maximize early adoption, optimize near-term revenue, or use pricing to signal premium value and leave room for future packaging changes.
