SalesTech Quote-of-the-Week!
UBP is already rocketing in popularity amongst B2B SaaS companies. And while it’s not a new model (it has been in telecommunications for years), software companies are quickly realising that traditional per-seat pricing is not the best way to maximise revenue or attract new customers. According to a 2022 study of 600 SaaS companies by OpenView Partners, 45% said they used UBP, up from 34% the previous year. Of the remaining 55%, 11% are planning to test it in the next 6 to 12 months, and another 23% plan to do so from 2023. This pricing model is here to stay.

SalesTech QnA with the Expert
It used to be acceptable 10-15 years ago for sales tools to struggle with slow performance. Especially with CPQ tools, which can traditionally be quite complex, these systems often had significant experience limitations and performance issues, especially when business processes and selling rules got more complicated. In today’s age, sellers need to move as quickly as possible to win deals. They don’t have time to wait for the spinning wheel on the screen between every click. We’re all used to our applications working for us in a split second, and if it doesn’t, we’re frustrated, or we don’t use it.
