Ian Clark runs Crescendo Consulting, helping companies monetize AI features. He's advised leadership teams on packaging, pricing metrics, and outcome-based models. And of course, he performed his obligatory stint at Simon Kutcher Partners. In this episode, Ian challenges common misconceptions about AI pricing, explaining why cost-plus pricing is still wrong even with variable AI costs, how to choose the right pricing metrics beyond tokens, and why outcome-based pricing isn't the silver bullet many believe it to be. Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why AI costs shouldn't drive your pricing strategy, even when margins drop below traditional SaaS levels. Learn how to identify pricing metrics that correlate with willingness to pay rather than falling into the token-based pricing trap. Discover why outcome-based pricing for AI faces fundamental attribution problems that make it less viable than expected. "The best way to get willingness-to-pay data and to understand where the value of your product comes from is by doing customer interviews, not the testing, not the data, customer interviews." – Ian Clark Topics Covered: 02:59 - Monetizing AI vs. SaaS. The surprising similarities between AI and SaaS pricing, and why cost-plus pricing remains a bad idea even with AI's variable costs. 05:17 - Pricing Strategy in AI.The gross margin threshold where revenue-optimizing and margin-optimizing prices diverge (50-60%), plus the potato chip pricing thought experiment. 09:35 - AI Pricing Strategies.Why token-based pricing is problematic and how to find the right pricing metric that correlates with willingness to pay. 12:24 - Pricing Strategies for AI Tools.Real-world case study of sales enablement AI: choosing between user-based vs. usage-based pricing based on wallet size indicators. 16:27 - Outcomes-based Pricing Skepticism.The attribution problem with outcomes-based pricing and why it's harder to implement than it appears, using grocery shrinkage AI as an example. 20:11 - Outcome-based Pricing for AI. Sierra's "resolved conversations" model critique and the ethics of incentivizing AI agents vs. human labor. 24:03 - Pricing and Value Creation.The three-layer value framework: actual economic value → perceived value → willingness to pay, accounting for risk, timing, and budget constraints. 26:39 - 10% Rule in Pricing Strategy.Debunking the "charge 10% of value created" rule with Y Combinator math showing how small variations (9X vs 11X) can dramatically impact company survival. 30:31 - Customer Interviews for Pricing Insights.Why customer interviews beat data analysis and A/B testing for understanding willingness to pay and pain points. Key Takeaways: "We have known for a very long time that cost-plus pricing is a really bad idea. And it's not the case that now suddenly that we have AI, now suddenly it's a good idea." - Ian Clark "So the 10x rule, it's great, but it's just woefully insufficient. Why not 11x? Why not 9x? You actually don't know." - Ian Clark "One thing that we like to say about pricing and monetization is that people think it's like architecture, but it really should be like gardening." - Ian Clark People / Resources Mentioned: Simon Kutcher Partners: https://www.simon-kucher.com/en Alpine Investors: https://alpineinvestors.com/ James Wilton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesdwilton/ Sierra: https://sierra.ai/ Fin AI: https://fin.ai/ Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/ McKinsey: https://www.mckinsey.com/ Connect with Ian Clark: Website: https://crescendo.consulting LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-harrison-clark/ Email: ian@crescendo.consulting Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

What do you do when everyone loves your product but no one's paying for it? That was the challenge facing Beautiful.ai. Founder Mitch Grasso nailed the product, but to build a sustainable business, he brought in operator Jason Lapp as CEO. In this conversation, Jason shares how Beautiful.ai killed its freemium tier, introduced a credit-card-gated trial without losing momentum, and learned to serve both self-serve and enterprise customers at the same time. He also explains how to listen to customer feedback without becoming a feature factory, and why non-technical founders shouldn't try to know everything about the tech stack. If you're a founder wondering when to put up a paywall — or how to balance PLG with enterprise sales — here's a playbook. RUNTIME 46:20 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (3:35) “ The timing of us coming together was really fortuitous for beautiful because he had already built the first version of beautiful and put it in market.” (6:28) “ Microsoft and Google report that there's close to a billion people that use presentation software on a monthly basis.” (10:51) “ At a certain point after getting in market, you start to get a different set of signal.” (14:52) The free trial period is a great opportunity to learn about what customers value most. (19:56) Leverage “emotional” feedback to improve the customer experience. (23:46) “ We do have a guiding principle, which is: on the customer side, we generally don't build for one customer need.” (26:17) Beautiful.ai uses NPS surveys to gather feedback from enterprise and individual users. (28:49) Since pivoting to paid, they have separate teams for enterprise and individual customers. (23:02) “ We think about an ICP, and then we think about an IECP, meaning the enterprise as a whole.” (33:57) Capturing behavioral and attitudinal data to understand customer behavior. (37:18) How the broader rise of generative AI has influenced GTM strategy. (42:33) Jason shares some advice for non-technical CEOs.

A stalkerware economy is thriving on TikTok, and it's generating hundreds of thousands in sales. Journalist Rosie Thomas from 404 Media joins the show this week discuss her investigation into GPS trackers being sold as relationship surveillance tools directly through TikTok Shop. This isn't some dark web operation - it's happening on one of the world's most popular social platforms.The findings are disturbing.

The technology isn't new, but the accessibility and algorithmic amplification absolutely is.This conversation touches on everything from the failure of tech companies to consider abuse cases in product design, to how parasocial relationships are replacing actual community bonds, to the legal gaps that leave victims with limited recourse.If you work in tech, this episode should make you uncomfortable.

She served for four years as the CRO at Barstool as it grew well beyond its roots in sports banter to develop several revenue streams. At Teton Ridge, Deirdre sees a similar opportunity in the niche of Western sports like rodeo. Teton Ridge is betting big on Western sports and lifestyle — acquiring The Cowboy Channel, building original programming around rodeo, and elevating events like the American Rodeo into marquee sports properties. It's part media company, part sports IP owner, and part entertainment studio, with the aim of modernizing a tradition-rich category while keeping its authenticity.Deirdre and I talk about what it takes to grow in a time of constant industry change, and why she believes Western sports are not just having a cultural moment, but building into a lasting movement.

Thanks to The Podcast Academy, Ti King and I got to attend #PopCon with the intention of evangelizing podcasting (and the Academy, of course! See links for joining, below.) After I got used to the costumed attendees of PopCon, and fan-girled a few anime voice talents and celebrities on site, I got down to business and led a panel of podcasting experts on how to create, market, and monetize a podcast. Guests include Brittany Bigelow of Bigelow Creative, Dawn-Michelle Lewis of Salutations Media, filmmaker and podcast host Vergie Rodriguez, and James Starace of Focus 360/Creator Square. We covered strategies for podcast concept development, the value of niche topics and micro-influencers, technical execution, and effective marketing strategies. The panel also explained their monetization techniques, from securing brand partnerships to leveraging subscriber models. The whole PopCon event was eye-opening, by the way, with more people lined up to meet the faces behind their favorite voices than the known faces playing TV characters!

Todd Olson joins me to talk about making analytics worth paying for and relevant in the age of AI. The CEO of Pendo, an analytics SAAS company, Todd shares how the company evolved to support a wider audience by simplifying dashboards, removing user roadblocks, and leveraging AI to both generate and explain insights. We also talked about the roles of product management at Pendo. Todd views AI product management as a natural evolution for adaptable teams and explains how he thinks about hiring product roles in 2025. Todd also shares how he thinks about successful user adoption of his product around “time to value” and “stickiness” over vanity metrics like time spent. Highlights/ Skip to: How Todd has addressed analytics apathy over the past decade at Pendo (1:17) Getting back to basics and not barraging people with more data and power (4:02) Pendo's strategy for keeping the product experience simple without abandoning power users (6:44) Whether Todd is considering using an LLM (prompt-based) answer-driven experience with Pendo's UI (8:51) What Pendo looks for when hiring product managers right now, and why (14:58) How Pendo evaluates AI product managers, specifically (19:14) How Todd Olson views AI product management compared to traditional software product management (21:56) Todd's concerns about the probabilistic nature of AI-generated answers in the product UX (27:51) What KPIs Todd uses to know whether Pendo is doing enough to reach its goals (32:49) Why being able to tell what answers are best will become more important as choice increases (40:05) Quotes from Today's Episode “Let's go back to classic Geoffrey Moore Crossing the Chasm, you're selling to early adopters. And what you're doing is you're relying on the early adopters' skill set and figuring out how to take this data and connect it to business problems. So, in the early days, we didn't do anything because the market we were selling to was very, very savvy; they're hungry people, they just like new things. They're getting data, they're feeling really, really smart, everything's working great. As you get bigger and bigger and bigger, you start to try to sell to a bigger TAM, a bigger audience, you start trying to talk to the these early majorities, which are, they're not early adopters, they're more technology laggards in some degree, and they don't understand how to use data to inform their job. They've never used data to inform their job. There, we've had to do a lot more work.” Todd (2:04 - 2:58) “I think AI is amazing, and I don't want to say AI is overhyped because AI in general is—yeah, it's the revolution that we all have to pay attention to. Do I think that the skills necessary to be an AI product manager are so distinct that you need to hire differently? No, I don't. That's not what I'm seeing. If you have a really curious product manager who's going all in, I think you're going to be okay. Some of the most AI-forward work happening at Pendo is not just product management. Our design team is going crazy. And I think one of the things that we're seeing is a blend between design and product, that they're always adjacent and connected; there's more sort of overlappiness now.” Todd (22:41 - 23:28) “I think about things like stickiness, which may not be an aggregate time, but how often are people coming back and checking in? And if you had this companion or this agent that you just could not live without, and it caused you to come into the product almost every day just to check in, but it's a fast check-in, like, a five-minute check-in, a ten-minute check-in, that's pretty darn sticky. That's a good metric. So, I like stickiness as a metric because it's measuring [things like], “Are you thinking about this product a lot?” And if you're thinking about it a lot, and like, you can't kind of live without it, you're going to go to it a lot, even if it's only a few minutes a day. Social media is like that. Thankfully I'm not addicted to TikTok or Instagram or anything like that, but I probably check it nearly every day. That's a pretty good metric. It gets part of my process of any products that you're checking every day is pretty darn good. So yeah, but I think we need to reframe the conversation not just total time. Like, how are we measuring outcomes and value, and I think that's what's ultimately going to win here.” Todd (39:57) Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddaolson/ X: https://x.com/tolson todd@pendo.io
