Nasscom Product Conclave Outreach Workshop on 8th November 2011





Pick up the paper on any given day and you’ll read about another failed product or technology. At the same time, other technology products catch fire and become wildly successful. What makes the difference? Typically, the root cause is not a poorly conceived product. The culprit is simple. Those that successfully capitalize on a new product or market inflection point have a compelling, thought-provoking, engaging story and execute an effective go-to-market strategy That’s it. However, very few technology companies are effectively able to translate their product IP and features into a message that resonates with buyers and captures the imagination of the market. Or execute a long strategy that makes an impact in the market.

Session 2 –
B2B SOFTWARE/CLOUD/SaaS PRICING WORKSHOP

Developing a pricing model requires a process and logic to get to the right price point and right content and number of packages. If you think it is as simple as “X amount of money per user per month” or “bronze/silver/gold” editions, this workshop will help you see and use what you are missing.
When you develop a “good enough” pricing model you will be able to go to market with more confidence, get market traction faster and achieve higher levels of revenue growth. 
This special, four-hour pricing workshop that will help you develop a pricing model that is “good enough” to use for the next 18-24 months at least.
Topics will include...
What pricing really is (and it’s more than the number)
Why pricing structure should come before pricing details
What steps to take before coming up with “the number”

Making a profit from price sensitive customers
