Alan Hollander, VP of Offer Packaging and Pricing Strategy at Blackbaud, has led pricing initiatives for six years. With nearly three decades in pricing, his impressive career began in 1994 when Tom Nagle hired him after Alan excelled in Nagle's "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" course. He also held key roles at Ellucian and Simon-Kucher & Partners, bringing deep expertise in large-scale pricing transformations. In this episode, Alan addresses a major challenge for SaaS companies: how AI disrupts traditional per-user pricing. Drawing on his experience at Blackbaud (serving nonprofits with CRM and financial tools), he explains why AI's efficiency conflicts with seat-based pricing. He and Mark discuss the difficulties of shifting customers to new pricing models, managing multiple approaches, and implementing pricing innovations gradually.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why AI is fundamentally incompatible with per-user pricing and what alternatives actually work in practice. Learn how to implement pricing model changes without overwhelming your organization's operational capabilities. Discover the "crawl, walk, run" approach to pricing transformation that builds momentum through proven results.   "Don't go right to the end goal, in the future state, because people are just going to look at you cross-eyed. Start with quick wins, start with test pilots, test the concepts, show the results, quantify the results so you can build momentum in launching new pricing models." — Alan Hollander   Topics Covered: 01:30 — Alan's pricing journey: From Tom Nagle's student to Strategic Pricing Group veteran 02:45 — The AI pricing dilemma: Pricing products with AI vs. using AI for pricing 04:15 — Why AI pricing isn't different: It's still all about jobs-to-be-done and value creation 11:15 — The nonprofit sector challenge: Selling efficiency when budgets are already tight 14:30 — Human augmentation vs. job replacement: Reframing the AI conversation 16:45 — The Salesforce problem: When AI doubles productivity but revenue stays flat 19:20 — Blackbaud's approach: Combining user-based and consumption-based models 21:45 — Market segmentation reality: Financial vs. fundraising as separate buying centers 24:10 — The PayPal model: Why percentage-of-success pricing works for fundraising 26:30 — Optional pricing models: Letting customers choose fixed vs. variable approaches 28:45 — The operational reality check: Systems and processes needed for pricing flexibility 31:00 — The "crawl, walk, run" philosophy: Building momentum through incremental wins   Key Takeaways: "Per user is not going to be the answer. You're going to stagnate because unless you're just going to increase your per user price, it doesn't align with how they consume, how they use, what value they get." — Alan Hollander "Sometimes you have to do the right things before you do things right... you can have a beautiful strategy in terms of how you monetize and price, and it's very elegant and you've done all the analytics and it looks super cool. But sometimes you actually need to basically what I would say, do a crawl, walk, run." — Alan Hollander "If you don't lead with the value, I don't care if it's AI, SaaS, it doesn't matter what it is. If you don't lead with the value in a business case... you're not going to get anywhere." — Alan Hollander   Resources and People Mentioned: Blackbaud: https://www.blackbaud.com/  Tom Nagle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-tom-nagle  Reed Holden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reed-holden-913ab69/    Connect with Alan Hollander: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alan-hollander-753167/  Email: alan.hollander@blackbaud.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

“A 30% duty can turn a profitable product into a loss-maker if it's not accounted for.” — Noa Sussman, TecEx In the latest installment of the TecEx podcast series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, is joined once again by Noa Sussman of TecEx to unpack the real-world financial impact of tariffs, duties, and VAT on global technology deployments—and why it's no longer just a logistics issue, but a boardroom concern. The Hidden Cost of Global Trade Decisions Sussman warns that companies still underestimate how duties and tariffs directly affect sourcing and profitability. With geopolitical tensions and shifting regulations, a 10% or 30% tariff isn't theoretical—it's immediate and impactful. “It can take a product from black to red if you don't factor it into your pricing,” Sussman explains. Sourcing from countries like China or exporting to regulated markets like Europe means companies must think beyond cost and lead times—they must assess tax exposure and long-term compliance risks. VAT: Not Just a Cost of Doing Business The discussion also dives into VAT—how it varies across jurisdictions, and how misunderstandings about reclaim rules can cause serious cash flow issues. Sussman shares how a poorly timed or misunderstood VAT payment can delay deployments and disrupt go-to-market timelines. Case Study: When Classification Goes Wrong In a striking real-world example, Sussman recounts how one client misclassified a component's country of origin, triggering a massive tariff on an entire $1 million shipment rather than a single $5,000 part. The error, based on incomplete paperwork and poor compliance oversight, led to unexpected duties, delays, and financial loss—something a strategic partner like TecEx could have prevented. Strategic Solutions: Planning and Partners From leveraging free trade agreements to properly classifying products and understanding country-specific tax rules, Sussman outlines how planning can lower costs and reduce risk. He also introduces the concept of “duty drawback programs”—a lesser-known tool that allows qualified companies to recoup paid duties under certain conditions. “Too many companies make the sale before they think about VAT or duties,” Sussman notes. “By then, it's too late.” Final Word: Don't Go It Alone For organizations deploying globally—whether into data centers or manufacturing facilities—the message is clear: bringing in a seasoned trade and compliance partner isn't optional. It's essential. To learn more about navigating global deployment and compliance with confidence, visit tecex.com.

Check out my newsletter at TKOPOD.com and join my new community at TKOwners.comI sat down with Sam Thompson again and we talked about how starting a business really isn't that complicated. We broke down why perfect logos, pricing models, or websites don't matter early on, and how getting on sales calls with nothing to sell is often the best place to begin. We shared an example of a guy who launched a Google Maps optimization service from scratch (no prior experience) and closed clients in under 30 days. We also talked about pricing strategies, paid ads, building confidence through customer conversations,  and even how AI tools like Replit and ChatGPT can be packaged into customizable templates and sold as one-time products.

If launching your offer feels like sprinting uphill in heels, this episode is your breath of fresh air. I'm walking you through my 3T evergreen sales strategy, the same one I teach inside Parade, and the exact approach I use to sell my offers all year round without burning out or disappearing in between launches.This isn't a post-once-and-hope strategy. It's a simple but powerful framework that helps you show up consistently, speak to the right buyers, and build real momentum. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down how to Tease, Tempt, and Turn your audience, three distinct sales phases that make your content feel strategic, not shouty.You'll hear exactly what to say (and when), why most people quit before the conversion phase even begins, and how to bring natural urgency into your sales rhythm without feeling icky. Whether you're prepping for your next launch or just want to keep selling quietly in the background, this 3T method is your new go-to.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy selling your offer doesn't have to mean constant launchingWhat the 3T Strategy is and how to apply it to your evergreen contentHow to create intrigue and anticipation without sounding vague or salesyThe role of opinion-sharing and urgency in the conversion phaseWhy people stop too early and what to do instead to actually get sales "Selling doesn't have to feel random or forced. You just need a rhythm that makes your offer easy to talk about."And if you want support in action, the next live round of Parade kicks off on June 30th. We'll be selling our offers together, four times a day, for 14 days. It's fun, focused, and gives you all the accountability you need to start showing up like the expert you are.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rhys, a veterinary practice owner from Vancouver who brings a unique perspective thanks to his background in hospitality and his passion for building businesses that can thrive without the owner being tied to every detail. We dove deep into what it really takes to transform a veterinary practice from a self-employed job into a scalable, sellable business. Our conversation covered everything from the importance of building robust systems and standard operating procedures, to leveraging data-driven management and authentic marketing that truly reflects your practice's identity. Throughout our discussion, Rhys shared actionable strategies for veterinary professionals who want to attract, engage, and retain clients—while also reclaiming their time and sanity. We talked about defining your mission and vision as the foundation for all your systems, the necessity of SOPs for consistency and delegation, and how to use key performance indicators (KPIs) to proactively manage your practice. We also explored pricing strategies that balance value and affordability, and the critical importance of client retention and lifetime value. Reese even provided a toolkit of resources and calculators to help practice owners make informed decisions about hiring, budgeting, and pricing. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your established practice to the next level, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples. We wrapped up by discussing how to adapt to the future, especially with the rise of corporate competition and shifting market dynamics. My goal with this episode is to give you the insights and tools you need to build a veterinary practice that works for you—not the other way around. If you're ready to create a business that can run (and grow) without your constant presence, you won't want to miss this conversation!

Today I'm sharing five effective (and relatively easy!) pricing strategies that can help you increase your average order value.And the best part is you can take any one or all five and put them to work for your business this week.

How do you turn a passion-fueled event into a six-figure signature offer? Today's case study features Elysia Skye, intuitive mentor and founder of The Brilliance Method®, who generated over $150K in net profit by merging high-end video production, coaching, and energy work into a transformative in-person experience called Content Camp. Each cohort served 11–14 coaches, healers, and authors with themed experiences (including Back to the Future events and manifestation exercises in nature). Ticket options ranged from $2K to $11K—and yet, most attendees chose the $11K VIP tier as their default. Elysia shares how she refined her pricing after initially losing money on VIPs, beta tested her first event through referrals, and transitioned this initial offer into her newer Clarity Camp — her current invite-only offer with even higher margins. Keep listening to hear how designing offers Elysia personally wanted to attend was the secret to consistent demand.

In this episode, Dave breaks down his personal strategy and process for launching new products on Amazon, detailing a four-stage approach that spans from the first few weeks after launch to ongoing strategies for maintaining sales and optimizing listings. We talk about why its important to have a pricing strategy and an ACOS goal, to have only exact match turned on, and to have reviews as soon as possible.    Struggling with tariffs? Unsure about upcoming changes? Let's talk! With Portless, you only pay tariffs after your customers pay you – so your cash always moves faster than your costs. Schedule a risk assessment and leverage tariff deferment today. All new customers get $1,000 to reinvest in their business.   Launching a product isn't as crazy as it used to be.    Back in the 2010s, you could put up anything on Amazon and it would do huge numbers.    But today, its a different story.    You have to have enough reviews for your product and a low price to stand out from the competition at the minimum.    How do you get this all done? More importantly, what else can I do to guarantee success?    Here's the ultimate 3 month launch plan that we incorporate in our businesses for each new product we launch.    Takeaways In the first few weeks of launch, price your product 40% lower to attract buyers. Focus on exact targeting for PPC in early stages. Send your products into Amazon Vine to get reviews early. Gradually increase prices; Amazon hates when you increase prices abruptly. Utilize promotions based on how competitive your product category is. Auto campaigns help identify effective keywords that you can eventually add to your manual keywords. Aim for 30+ reviews for basic social proof. Incorporate top keywords into product imagery. If you get a lot of bad reviews, consider relaunching your product. Continuously improve your product based on customer feedback.

Thriving Business Finances with Value-Based Pricing Strategies and the Profit First Model Running a successful business today requires more than just hard work—it takes strategy, clarity, and a sustainable approach to finances. Adopt value-based pricing strategies and implement the Profit First model to avoid burnout. Together, these two approaches enable business owners to set prices based on the value they provide, ensuring that profit is prioritized from the outset. Rethinking Your Worth with Value-Based Pricing Strategies: What Are You Providing? One of the most common pitfalls in business is undervaluing your work, particularly when pricing is based solely on the time spent. Instead of asking, "How long did this take me?" with value-based pricing strategies, we ask, "What difference is this making for the person I serve?" When you price based on value, you recognize the real impact of your work: peace of mind, business growth, clarity, and confidence. These things go far beyond time spent and deserve to be reflected in how you charge. Clients aren't just paying for your time—they're investing in meaningful change. And that change has measurable value. You deliver an ROI when you help a client increase their revenue, streamline operations, or reduce stress that leads to better decision-making. This return on investment (ROI) often exceeds the cost of your services. By clearly communicating that ROI—whether it's financial growth, time saved, or long-term stability—you make it easier for clients to see your services as an investment, not an expense. When you price according to the outcomes you create, you simplify your pricing, establish clear expectations, and reinforce the true worth of your services.
