The launch discount trained people to wait
I offered half off for a weekend. It worked. The following month a few notes asked when the next one was. I would rather have had fewer sales and a calmer price.

One change, then stop. Address "I offered half off for a weekend" and leave the rest of the product alone for a week.
I send a private courtesy to people who already asked, and the public price stays still. A sitewide code became a calendar event I did not want.

Requiring a card made the trial list smaller and the paid rate higher. I am not sure the trade is worth it at this stage, because I still need to watch people get stuck.

- At what price did you stop offering a demo?
Demos fill the week and close some of the larger accounts. They also hide product confusion because I explain it live. I do not know which invoices would have happened without me on the call.

- Three pricing tiers and I cannot defend the middle one
The middle plan exists because pricing pages seem to have one. Customers either take the cheap seat or ask for the top. Nobody is choosing the middle on purpose.

- Is a 20 percent annual discount buying commitment or just a cheaper month?
Finance teams ask for annual. I am not sure the discount is why, or if they would have paid the monthly total for a purchase order. I do not want to train people to wait for a sale.
