Although I’m sending out this newsletter today, it’s inspired by a conversation I had last week.
A client asked me, “How do you justify the huge price difference between Upmetrics’ subscription and planning services?”
(Spoiler alert: I convinced him. 🫣)
You see, we have different offerings.
With so many options available, clients often wonder what exactly they’re 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 it’d 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, let’s 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? 😆
It’s all about perspective, you see.
Anyway, let’s 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 that’d put even $10,000 worth of plans to shame, but…
Remember, a tool is just as good as its master.
It helps you get all the fundamentals in place, but the heavy lifting—understanding your market, strategy, and execution—still depends on you.
Upmetrics’ business planning services:
When you need a truly professional-grade plan, our planning services come into play.
Choosing our plan writing or reviewing service isn’t just about completing a business plan. Rather, it’s about:
- You better understanding your business and strategies.
- You having a plan that you can be 100% sure about.
- You having a long-term strategy for your biz.
- You having the opportunity to connect with potential lenders.
Our consulting team has a strong work history and has raised millions in client funding.
So, the value they bring to the table is definitely worth every penny.
All in all, the value of an expert-written business plan lies in the depth and expertise it brings to your business idea. It’s about creating a plan that resonates with investors and stands up to scrutiny.
