What each one does

Pricing Strategy

  • Guides you through pricing research methods like Van Westendorp to find what customers will pay
  • Helps choose the right value metric (per user, per usage, flat fee) that scales with customer value
  • Designs Good-Better-Best tier structures with clear feature differentiation and price points
  • Advises on when and how to raise prices based on market signals and business performance
  • Provides pricing page best practices and conversion psychology tactics

Product Launch Strategy

  • Establishes predictable launch calendars and cadence structures for product releases
  • Guides cross-functional alignment between marketing, product, sales, and customer success teams
  • Provides messaging frameworks that focus on buyer problems rather than product features
  • Outlines launch asset production sequences (videos, landing pages, email campaigns)
  • Offers post-launch measurement and iteration practices
