Doing product is hard. But it shouldn't be so! I've felt this pain myself and that's why I preach a reasonable approach. An approach that brings material value to the organizations, and that lets product people enjoy their work. Every couple of weeks I bring a fresh perspective to make your journey in Product Management easier and more rewarding. In the Reasonable Interviews, I interview product thought leaders and executives. Reasonable Deep-Dives provide an in-depth perspective on a key aspect of product management.

    Pricing as a feature: Monetizing commodity SaaS products - with Neeraj Singh, CEO @ Neeto

    Welcome to the Reasonable Product Podcast! I’m your host, Salva, and today we’re diving into the intricate world of monetizing commodity digital products. I'm thrilled to have Neeraj Singh, the CEO of Neeto and Bigbinary, joining us to discuss this complex and somehow misunderstood topic. In our discussion, Neeraj and I explored the challenges and strategies behind pricing in the highly competitive digital product space. Neeraj shared fascinating insights from his journey with Neeto, a company that builds a suite of essential software tools for small to medium-sized businesses. No mystery: scheduling and form solutions are nothing new, actually they're a commodity.  And Neeraj has made his whole pricing strategy around leveraging this competitive space by designing tools to offer just the right features at a price point that's remarkably lower than the market giants. We also delved into the reasons why customers are switching from established leaders to Neeto, not just for cost savings, but because Neeto often makes complex features more accessible and easier to understand. Neeraj emphasized that their commitment to providing exceptional customer support and continuous product improvement is central to their success. Throughout our conversation, we touched on the broader industry trends and the philosophy behind Neeto’s approach to pricing. We discussed how Neeraj plans to keep their products affordable without sacrificing quality, and why he believes in charging only when customers derive real value from their services. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone interested in product pricing, particularly in the digital and SaaS industries. Tune in to hear more about Neeraj’s innovative strategies and how Neeto is navigating the competitive landscape of commodity digital products.

    The dream of recurring revenue and the reality of subscription fatigue

    We are already 1 month in 2024 and one element seems to be clear. Inflation is there, purchasing power is at its lowest and businesses are readapting to this new world. Of course, product management and pricing are a pivotal topic in this shift and our profession is on the frontline when it comes to keeping products attractive to customers and to price them in a way that is acceptable to buyers and viable for businesses. Subscriptions have been at the core of the success of digital (and less digital) businesses in the last 10 years, but some signals of fatigue are stepping in. Higher churn, and additional "activation friction" are a thing. Do you see the same happening in your company or for your product? In this deep dive, I explore the "subscription fatigue" that we start seeing among consumer AND business customers, and I provide some pragmatic strategies to adapt.

    Stop looking at the prices of your competitors!

    Stop looking at the prices of your competitors! Setting prices based on competitors means you're letting them dictate your pricing strategy. Instead, why not ask your customers what they're willing to pay? In this podcast, we look at the double-edged sword of pricing intelligence and why an obsession with competitors' prices can set you far from value-based pricing. Forgetting about your competitors sounds scary, isn’t it? Yes it is, and by the way I’m not saying you should completely ignore competition. However, taking the right distance and “playing a different battle” is key in protecting your margins and customer base. The major pitfalls of looking at your competitors are: Lack of Superior Insight: They don’t necessarily know better than you.What's True for Your Competitors Isn't Necessarily True for You.Focusing on Price Over Value.Overlooking Customer Perceptions.Lack of Differentiation.To transition from competitor-driven pricing to value-based pricing, you have some secret weapons that we analyze in detail in this article. This includes: Strong Customer Segmentation.Looking for “Competition Creeps” and Unmet Needs.Asking Your Customers (Yes, you can ask prices to your customers!)Leveraging Pricing as a DifferentiatorListen to the podcast now and stop getting obsessed with your competitors. Start being obsessed with your customers!
