Overview

Turn differentiated value into better pricing decisions.

Subscription businesses require a fundamentally different approach to pricing than traditional one-time sales models. Sustainable recurring growth depends not only on setting the right price, but also on designing effective packaging structures, identifying monetization opportunities, managing expansion paths, and building scalable pricing capabilities.

This interactive two-day training provides a practical roadmap for designing and optimizing subscription pricing strategies in B2B SaaS and recurring revenue environments. You will explore how to align pricing and packaging with customer value, structure upgrades and renewals, improve discounting practices, and successfully implement pricing changes.

Led by Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt, Founder and CEO of Willingness To Pay, the program combines practical frameworks, peer discussions, hands-on exercises, and real-life SaaS examples that participants can directly apply within their organizations.
