Below is a concise answer based on our saas pricing book, Price to Scale:
• Beyond simple conversion rates, you should track both quantitative and qualitative metrics. For example, our book recommends monitoring:
– Customer perceptions through forced-ranking exercises. Ask prospects to rank pain points and benefits. This includes gathering unprompted and open‑ended feedback on price perception and product value.
– The bounds of your pricing strategy by identifying whether prospects believe the low price suggests poor quality or the high price seems too expensive. These bounds help set the context for understanding your results.
• Additionally, our book emphasizes evaluating metrics against key criteria such as predictability, acceptability, and trackability. This means verifying that:
– The pricing reflects costs that customers can predict month‑to‑month (predictability).
– The proposed pricing is seen as logical and acceptable from a sales and customer standpoint (acceptability).
– The results can be segmented and tracked accurately over time (trackability).
• Don’t forget the value of contextual segmentation. As detailed in the book, breaking down your metrics by product family, package, geography, and even sales team specifics will allow you to extract actionable insights that pure conversion numbers might mask.
In summary, while conversion rates are important, coupling them with qualitative insights, anchored customer feedback, and performance segmentation provides a more holistic picture of how your pricing experiment is performing. This deeper analysis helps you confidently validate pricing changes and forecast revenue reliably.
