SalesTech QnA with the Expert
Dynamic pricing allows sales leaders to give customers exactly what they want and need, with exactly the right terms, at exactly the right cadence. And, it simultaneously optimizes revenue. In many ways, dynamic or usage-based is synonymous with value-based pricing. In value-based pricing you set the optimal price that works for the organization and its customer. Usage-based terms help get you there. With dynamic, usage-based pricing and billing, sales teams are no longer limited to standard subscription models, but can create plans that are as customized as possible. –Jayaram Bhat, CEO at Monetize360
