Although Iโm sending out this newsletter today, itโs inspired by a conversation I had last week.
A client asked me, โHow do you justify the huge price difference between Upmetricsโ subscription and planning services?โ
(Spoiler alert: I convinced him. ๐ซฃ)
You see, we have different offerings.
With so many options available, clients often wonder what exactly theyโre getting for each tier.
For instance, we offer:
– A free AI plan generator ($0)
– Business plan software ($7) (*starter plan)
– Business planning services (starting from $500)
While I helped him understand the different value propositions, I thought itโd be worth sharing my take here.
I had a quick chat with our lead consultant, Kaylee Theuerkauf, before I drafted this letter.
She knows our service offerings better than anyone else.
So, letโs settle this, once in for all.
The difference between free vs. $7 vs. a $2500 business plan.
$2500 sounds like a lot? Hold on.
Think of it this way:
A $2500 business plan that can potentially get a $ 100K to a million dollars in funding.
How about now? ๐
Itโs all about perspective, you see.
Anyway, letโs go with the bottom-up approach.
Starting with a free version plan generator:
To be honest, it was built for students and entrepreneurs, exploring business planning.
To help them understand the elements of a plan, know their business better, and have something to show for it.
But can you use this to pitch professionally? Probably not.
Detailed business planning software:
Upmetrics is a planning tool that caters to entrepreneurs who have basic knowledge about planning and can spend some time ideating and planning their strategy.
Upmetrics is exceptionally easy to use and has all the features to create a plan thatโd put even $10,000 worth of plans to shame, butโฆ
Remember, a tool is just as good as its master.
It helps you get all the fundamentals in place, but the heavy liftingโunderstanding your market, strategy, and executionโstill depends on you.
