Question 1

What is value-based pricing?

Accepted Answer

Value-based pricing sets prices according to the value your product delivers to customers, not your costs. It usually produces higher margins than cost-plus pricing when you can quantify the customer outcome.

Question 2

How do I know if my prices are too low?

Accepted Answer

Signs include high win rates, customers rarely objecting on price, strong demand you cannot meet, and margins below industry benchmarks. Most bootstrapped businesses underprice.

Question 3

How often should I raise prices?

Accepted Answer

Review pricing at least annually. Healthy SaaS and service businesses raise prices every 12 to 18 months for new customers, and strategically for existing ones when value has increased.

Question 4

What is cost-plus pricing and when does it make sense?

Accepted Answer

Cost-plus pricing adds a fixed margin on top of your cost. It works for commodity products with stable costs but usually leaves money on the table for differentiated products or services.
