S2E7 Coming Up With Our Business Model and Price Point

Melissa and Todd discuss how they established eWebinar's pricing model, focusing on aligning their business strategy with their lifestyle goals and market approach. Melissa shares insights from her past ventures, highlighting her shift towards a product-led strategy to ensure the business supports a hands-off lifestyle, avoiding the demanding nature of sales-led models. Melissa explains why she’s against freemium and opted for free trial instead, and the reason they chose a low cost pricing structure to temper customer expectations about service levels.

They talk about how eWebinar’s automated functionality required a unique pricing model based on the number of active webinars instead of live concurrent attendees, a risk they took as it moved away from traditional webinar software business models. This resulted in challenges and difficulty in explaining their model to prospective customers unfamiliar with automated webinars. Melissa and Todd reflect on the importance of pricing in shaping customer relationships and the need for ongoing adjustments based on usage and user exploitation.
