PRICING

1) pricing & business models

One of the most interesting growth levers you can experiment with is pricing.
It has an immediate impact on your bottom line and cashflow.

But, you need to make it work with your business model 

This week I talked with a founder who explained he decided to remove monthly plans and have only annual. This is because some users will use their product occasionally and turn on the subscription only when they needed (just one or two times in a year)

He said to me: ā€œIā€™m not interested in serving this customers, so I switch all my plans to annualā€.

Now the focus is on the right place.

You can do this in many ways. See how Jason did it for his hosting company:

It also shows the speaking time during the calls, an smart and subtle way to make shut the f*up! šŸ˜‡
