Pricing is the fastest lever to profitability. Learn cost-plus, value-based, and tiered pricing strategies that work for Indian SMBs.
Cost-plus pricing
COGS + markup. Safe but leaves money on the table when customers would pay more. Common starting point.
Value-based pricing
Charge for outcomes, not inputs. A web developer charging Rs. 50k for a site that drives Rs. 5L in sales is value-based. Requires understanding customer ROI.
Tiered pricing
Good / Better / Best. Most customers pick middle. Anchors the high tier and protects you against price negotiation on the lowest.
Psychological pricing
Rs. 999 beats Rs. 1,000 mentally. Rs. 4,999 vs 5,000 — same trick. Don't overuse; for B2B, round numbers signal seriousness.
Test and iterate
Raise prices by 10% on new customers. If volume drops by less than 10%, you made money. Track quarterly.
