In Today's episode I'm talking with Patrick Campbell, founder & CEO of ProfitWell. Today's conversation is going to be all about pricing, particularly, how you price your product during this kind of recessionary environment that we're in. We'll talk about whether or not we're actually in a recession. We're going to have a specific emphasis on SaaS products, software as a service, because Patrick specializes in that, but if you're not in SaaS, there will be tons of applications, gems, takeaways that you can apply to your business. This conversation is value packed, like Patricks framework for communicating pricing changes to your customers and how frequently you should be making those price adjustments. ProfitWell was recently acquired by Paddle and we'll talk about the acquisition in this episode too. So what does ProfitWell do? It is a software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. We've been using it for years and years and years. In fact, I have ProfitWell t-shirts that I still wear all the time. I feel like it's almost a t-shirt of my own company because I just look at my ProfitWell dashboards and metrics all the time. It feels like an internal tool. That's how much I love ProfitWell. Prior to ProfitWell, Patrick led strategic initiatives for Boston-based Gemvara and he was an economist at Google and with the US Intelligence Community. So super smart guy. Patrick, so glad to have you here. This conversation was recorded during one of our Organize Chaos Livestreams. Follow me on LinkedIn so you don't miss announcements for our next livestream!

*Hey listeners, quick note that the audio on my side for this one is wonky - sorry about that! Technical snag but we figured it out.* Patrick Campbell is CEO at ProfitWell. Prior to ProfitWell, Patrick led Strategic Initiatives for Boston based Gemvara and was an Economist at Google and the US Intelligence community (very cool). ProfitWell was founded in 2012, has 83 people, and is based out of Boston, MA. And get this - it's completely bootstrapped. Wow. ProfitWell helps recurring revenue (SaaS + subscription + DTC) businesses with their monetization and retention strategies. All of the metrics you need to grow your subscription business. Here's what we hit on: What does marketing mean to you? (HINT: Patrick's a math guy and actually changed his mind about this over time); Big marketing/content trends that startups need to be aware of (HINT: here's where we talk about the difference between inbound marketing and inbound media and why the media strategy is more effective); What marketing were you doing in the early days to grow the company; What marketing channels are working well for you right now (HINT: we cover their content strategy, podcasts, videos, books, thought leadership etc.); How adding video + audio to their pillar blog posts increased audience engagement; How creating short books allows the ProfitWell team to make sure they have their talking points around the problem their target audience faces, plus helps evangelize the thought leadership inside and outside the team; How does ProfitWell create so many shows with just 83 people?? (HINT: one of the ways is they shoot 1 season in 1 day); We talk about events, specifically how can we do 100 dinners a year and not want to die (HINT: the team cracked the code right before COVID on how to do successful events and personalized dinners, and it involves thinking about what are the plays we're doing to drive traffic to our booth and to our event); How did Patrick's experience as Economist at the US Department of Defense help in his future roles; Patrick wrapped a van with the ProfitWell logo and copy, and now he's going to drive it around the country to test if people are willing to meet up and also use this for content creation + awareness building.

How strategic are you about the pricing of your product or service? Today's guest for Coffee with Closers shared a very interesting insight. The average amount of time a company spends on their pricing each year is less than 15 hours. Not a month, not a week, 15 hours total throughout that year. And if you compare this to the amount of time and effort you spend on your office space or your remote culture and so on, it is not nearly as enough as it should be. Why is pricing so critical, though? There are three really big growth levers in your business – acquisition, monetization, and retention. Half of your time and budget are going to be spent on acquisition, but a bulk of your growth is going to come from good retention and proper pricing. Anyway. Let's not reveal all the secrets :) I want you to meet Patrick Campbell, CEO & Founder of ProfitWell – the software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. Patrick led Strategic Initiatives for Boston-based Gemvara and was an Economist at Google and the US Intelligence community. But against all odds, he ended up being an entrepreneur. Watch this interview to learn more about his fascinating journey. In this episode, we are talking about first-time entrepreneurship, decentralized leadership, freemium pricing, and other strategies. • How can servant leadership help build a feedback-driven, open culture? • What pricing strategies are working well for SaaS companies? • How not overcomplicate the sales process if you have a slightly more complex pricing model? • Why is pricing not a single-move but rather a multi-move game? • How to build a potentially sellable business?

Patrick Campbell is the CEO of ProfitWell (formerly Price Intelligently), the software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. ProfitWell also provides free turnkey subscription financial metrics for over eight thousand companies. Prior to ProfitWell, Patrick lead Strategic Initiatives for Boston based Gemvara and was an Economist at Google and the US Intelligence community. In this episode, Patrick shares the importance of a pricing person or a pricing department to deal with the complexities of crafting pricing strategies to gain pricing leverage. He also discusses the Freemium model they use at Profit Well and how it is more of acquisition rather than a pricing model. [powerpress] Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Learn how the market is slowly going entirely towards subscription as it provides predictable expense to consumers and predictable revenue to companies Find out how to make Pricing and packaging powerfully work to capture value Learn how to gain pricing leverage by understanding the different value drivers necessary in capturing value "Make sure you have a process. Make sure you have a pricing committee. Pricing is at the intersection of important and uncomfortable. And whenever you have that happen, those are things that get de-prioritized inside an organization constantly." - Patrick Campbell Increase Your Pricing Knowledge: Become a Champions of Value INSIDER! To sign up go to insider.championsofvalue.com Topics Covered: 01:56 - Patrick's remark to Mark's praise of him being a guru 02:13 - How he landed in Pricing 03:55 - What does he think about 'so many companies don't value pricing' 05:50 - Creating a Pricing department when there is already complexity in a company 06:58 - Why are companies not so keen on the important decisions around value and Pricing 09:06 - Explaining his model: acquire, monetize, and retain 10:51 - The use of pricing metrics and value metrics 13:08 - Is Uber a subscription company 17:46 - Talking about the guaranteed price in subscription 20:04 - Can you separate Pricing and packaging 21:21 - Understanding value capture in market segmentation 22:38 - The base free offer they give at Profit Well 24:38 - Patrick's thoughts on 'freemium is a customer acquisition model, not a pricing model 27:40 - Discussing about the three types of Freemium model 30:07 - His pricing advice that can have a big impact in others' business 31:42 - The need to have a committee to make progress Key Takeaways: "I think the evolution is going to go from one-time purchases to subscription purchases to recurring revenue businesses. And there's obviously transitions where everything goes back and forth, and things like that." - Patrick Campbell "I would say that there are things you can do independent of Pricing or independent of each other with Pricing and packaging, that leads to essentially different optimizations. So, I think that you can work without each other. But there's a lot that they rely on with one another. So, it gets a little more complicated." - Patrick Campbell "I don't think you're going to have pure dynamism anytime soon. But I think you'll start seeing segment-based Pricing sooner than later." - Patrick Campbell "We chose the freemium round, for a lot of reasons, basically, it's an acquisition model. It's not a pricing model." - Patrick Campbell "I think that the big thing you have to think about with freemium is it's opening the top of the funnel, so if it is up of the funnel, it is something that will influence your Pricing. But it's not part of your Pricing strategies core." - Patrick Campbell "It's been successful because we get two effects that come from Freemium. One, there's a network effect because every time we get more data, it goes into our algorithms of our pricing or retention products. And these are just things that makes them better. But the other thing it does is, it lowers our CAC, or customer acquisition cost quite significantly." - Patrick Campbell Connect with Patrick Campbell: LinkedIn Connect with Mark Stiving: Email: mark@impactpricing.com LinkedIn

Whether it's a gym membership, food box subscription, subscription software, or a media subscription, the subscription economy is here and is taking over. There is no one besides Patrick Campbell, Co-Founder and CEO of ProfitWell, that can discuss subscriptions as eloquently as he does. Patrick joins us this week to dig deep into what a subscription based price model looks like. The beauty of the subscription model is for the first time in history, there is now a revenue model where how we make money is baked directly into the relationship with the customer. How to price a subscription model is focused on two major pillars of growth, how it's priced and the cost per customer as well as retaining those customers. Patrick Campbell is the Co-Founder and CEO of ProfitWell, the industry standard software for helping companies like Atlassian, Autodesk, Meetup, and Lyft with their monetization (through Price Intelligently) and retention strategies. ProfitWell also provides a turnkey solution that powers the subscription financial metrics for over eight thousand subscription companies (it’s free and plugs right into your billing system).

Conventional wisdom often encourages startup founders to focus on product and growth, and then figure out monetization later. Yet this can be a backwards step as Patrick Campbell, CEO at Price Intelligently, notes. Businesses should ‘look at the market they want to attack, and then build the thing for them’, by gathering and analysing data on buyer personas. Patrick’s background is one steeped in using data to generate insights about people and customers. Prior to setting up Price Intelligently, which provides price optimisation software for businesses using proprietary algorithms to determine customers’ relative preferences and their price sensitivities, Patrick worked on Strategic Initiatives for Gemvara. Before Gemvara, Patrick worked in Sales and Operations at Google, where he built new models to optimise their AdWords strategies. He also worked in intelligence for the NSA, shortly after graduating. Speaking to Seedcamp partner Carlos Espinal, Patrick encourages businesses to work hard on using data to understand the profile and psyche of their customers by building quantified buyer personas. “If you just get in a room and then get aligned on, ‘Here’s who we’re selling to,’ your decisions around product, sales, marketing and operations, even, become crystal clear,” he says. Learn more about pricing strategies, collecting user behaviour data and finding patterns to help understand customer experience, as well as how to determine which product features are the most important for customers.
