You worked hard for your product and business– now is the time to properly protect and benefit from the lifeblood you put into it. Software Pricing Fundamentals is a two day workshop that awards the CPS-PP certification for the “doers” of software pricing and licensing– because the know-how is empowering! This course is tailor-made for those more concerned with pricing, with brief overviews on the licensing. If you’ve got a great attorney to help you out, this is the right ProfitStreams™ workshop for you.
Software Pricing Fundamentals is a two-day collaborative learning experience that focuses on the the first two rows of the Profit Streams™ canvas: Solution and Economic Sustainability, including Customer Benefit Analysis, pricing, packaging, and ROI modeling.
We're not just a workshop. We're a game-changer for you and yours.

What do we cover in the Software Pricing Fundamentals course?
We're getting serious about software.
This course is a step up in depth from our Introduction to Software Pricing, but it doesn't tackle licensing like Profit Stream™ Design.
Using a dynamic case study format inspired by the world's leading business schools, this two-day course course covers the following topics through a combination of interactive sessions, collaborative exercises, and conversations with your other participants:
- Customer Benefit Analysis to model the tangible and intangible benefits of your solution.
- Value Exchange Modeling so that you can select the optimal foundational elements of your business model.
- Solution Modeling so that you can design segment-specific packages.
- Pricing Model including Strategy, Structure, Specifics, and Policies, so that you know the specific changes you're making to improve your Pricing Model.
- Customer ROI Modeling, including the Total Cost of Ownership.
- Solution ROI Modeling, to ensure that you're generating a sustainable profit.

Course Syllabus
2 day workshop.
Interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, case studies, and group discussions.This workshop equips product managers, product marketers, and business leaders with the tools, frameworks, and mindset needed to design, implement, and evolve profitable pricing strategies for software and digital products. Participants will explore both the fundamentals of value-based pricing and the unique challenges of pricing recurring revenue, SaaS, and digital services.
The content is grounded in the Profit Streams™ framework, ensuring that pricing decisions connect directly to sustainable profitability and customer value.
Pricing is more than just a number, and you're in danger if you think it's nothing but. Pricing is actually a strategic driver of profitability and product-market fit.
Students will learn how pricing decisions shape long-term business outcomes and how to think about pricing as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event through our industry and time-tested methods.
Explore the major pricing approaches and discover how to choose the best method for software and digital offerings. There is no one-size-fits-all, but we tailor every process to your needs.
Students will compare cost-plus, competition-based, and value-based models, and learn to select pricing metrics that align with customer value delivery.
Learn to read minds! Kidding, but not entirely.
Understanding your customers’ willingness to pay is key to setting the right price. Our workshop helps solve mysteries on what turns people away and what keeps them coming in.
Students will practice gathering and analyzing market data, performing competitive benchmarking, and segmenting customers for differentiated pricing.
By this point in the workshop, you'll feel a lot more confident with the foundations. This module walks through the process of setting price points, creating tiers, and crafting packaging strategies-- putting the power in your hands.
Students will design their own pricing structures, apply psychological pricing techniques, and ensure that pricing aligns with value perception. Students will create plans for running pricing experiments, managing pricing changes, and tracking key performance indicators for long-term success.
