Value-Based Pricing Model

A Value-Based Pricing Model is a pricing model that is used to create value-based pricing systems (that support value-aligned price determination tasks).

• AKA: Outcome-Based Pricing Model, Results-Based Pricing Model, Value Capture Model.
• Context:
  • It can typically align Price Points directly with customer value outcomes rather than product costs.
  • It can typically capture a portion of the economic value that the solution creates for the customer.
  • It can typically maximize Revenue Generation through value extraction optimization.
  • It can typically strengthen Price Resilience against commodity pressures.
  • It can typically justify Premium Price Points based on demonstrated results.
  • ...
  • It can often require Performance Measurement through outcome tracking systems.
  • It can often employ Value Metrics to quantify delivered benefits.
  • It can often involve Success Fees tied to measurable improvements.
  • It can often include ROI Calculations to demonstrate customer value proposition.
  • It can often necessitate Attribution Modeling to connect solution usage with business outcomes.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Value-Based Pricing Model to being a Complex Value-Based Pricing Model, depending on its outcome measurement complexity.
  • It can range from being a Partial Value-Based Pricing Model to being a Pure Value-Based Pricing Model, depending on its value capture percentage.
  • It can range from being a Standardized Value-Based Pricing Model to being a Customized Value-Based Pricing Model, depending on its contracting flexibility.
  • ...
  • It can support Future-Proof Revenue Strategy for technology commoditization defense.
  • It can establish Strategic Positioning in competitive markets.
  • It can enhance Customer Alignment through shared success incentives.
  • It can prevent Price Erosion during technology cost decline periods.
  • It can facilitate Enterprise Sales by aligning with budget holder objectives.

      • AI Sales Agent Value-Based Pricing Model for revenue-percentage commission.
      • AI Recruitment Agent Value-Based Pricing Model for successful hire fee.
      • AI Customer Support Agent Value-Based Pricing Model for ticket resolution payment.
    • Software Value-Based Pricing Models, such as:
      • CRM Value-Based Pricing Model for sales pipeline improvement.
      • Marketing Automation Value-Based Pricing Model for lead conversion enhancement.
      • ERP Value-Based Pricing Model for operational efficiency gain.
    • Professional Service Value-Based Pricing Models, such as:
      • Law Firm Value-Based Pricing Model for legal outcome achievement.
      • Consulting Value-Based Pricing Model for cost reduction delivery.
      • Advertising Agency Value-Based Pricing Model for campaign performance payment.
  • Value Metric-Based Pricing Models, such as:
    • Revenue Impact Pricing Model for sales increase measurement.
    • Cost Savings Pricing Model for expense reduction calculation.
    • Time Efficiency Pricing Model for productivity improvement quantification.
    • Risk Reduction Pricing Model for liability decrease valuation.
  • Contract Structure Value-Based Pricing Models, such as:
    • Success Fee Value-Based Pricing Model for milestone achievement compensation.
    • Gain-Share Value-Based Pricing Model for outcome percentage allocation.
    • Performance Guarantee Value-Based Pricing Model for results-backed commitment.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Cost-Plus Pricing Models, which determine prices based on internal cost factors rather than customer outcome value.
  • Market-Based Pricing Models, which set prices based on competitive positioning rather than delivered value.
  • Usage-Based Subscription Pricing Models, which charge based on resource consumption rather than business results.
  • Fixed Pricing Models, which establish static price points regardless of outcome variations.
  • Time-Based Pricing Models, which bill for service duration without outcome consideration.
