Should our enterprise pricing be published on the website (e.g., listing an Enterprise plan with starting prices or ranges) or kept flexible via custom quotes only after discussion with the client?

Based on our pricing strategy book, Price to Scale, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The book outlines several options, including:

• Full transparency: Publishing complete pricing and packaging details on your website
• A summarized approach: Clearly stating a “starting from” price with an outline of what’s included while leaving room for further discussion
• Custom quotes: Providing only a summary of packages on your website and then tailoring pricing during sales conversations

For enterprise pricing—which can often involve complex, value-driven negotiations—the book suggests that a summarized approach can be highly effective. By publishing a starting price or a range, you set the stage for prospects and manage expectations, while preserving the flexibility to tailor pricing to the customer’s specific needs during discussions.

Practical takeaways include:
– Using a published “entry point” (e.g., “starting from $xx,xxx”) to attract initial interest
– Leaving detailed, complex pricing discussions for later, where you can better match value delivered and customer specifics
– Ensuring that your website pricing page serves as a tool to educate prospects and streamline inquiries

In summary, for enterprise pricing, consider a hybrid approach: publish a summarized initial pricing point on your website to generate leads and align expectations, and then move to custom quotes via discussions to capture the true value for each client.
