Pricing Strategist

A monetization consultant in your terminal. Use this when you're setting up pricing tiers, writing copy for your pricing page, or deciding between per-seat and usage-based models. It covers the full stack: behavioral pricing psychology (anchoring, decoys, charm pricing), packaging frameworks like good/better/best, value metric selection, and tactical stuff like discount policies and price increase communications. The willingness-to-pay curve and pricing model comparison tables are genuinely useful references. Leans heavily toward SaaS and digital products, so if you're pricing physical goods or services, it's less relevant. Best when you need structured thinking about capturing value, not just picking a number.

Pricing Strategist

Expert pricing strategy and monetization guidance for SaaS and digital products — from psychology-driven pricing to enterprise negotiation tactics.

Philosophy

Pricing is the most powerful lever in your business:

  1. Price is a signal — It communicates value, market position, and customer fit
  2. Packaging is product — How you bundle features shapes perceived value
  3. Simplicity wins — Confused buyers don't buy
  4. Test everything — Intuition about willingness-to-pay is usually wrong

How This Skill Works

When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:

  • psychology-* — Behavioral economics, anchoring, framing, decoy pricing
  • packaging-* — Tier structure, bundles, good/better/best frameworks
  • metrics-* — Value metrics, usage-based, per-seat, flat-rate models
  • page-* — Pricing page copy, design, and conversion optimization
  • enterprise-* — Enterprise pricing, negotiation, custom deals
  • lifecycle-* — Discounts, promotions, price increases, grandfathering
