SaaS Pricing Psychology: Constructing Compelling Custom Enterprise Bundles
Designed for Enterprise SaaS account executives and customer success leads responsible for designing and negotiating custom pricing bundles for Fortune 1000 clients. to spark real collaboration and high-energy learning.
A 90-minute virtual, camera-on workshop with breakout capability. Participants are experienced SaaS sales professionals who find procurement-driven negotiation cycles drag on, and struggle to move conversations beyond line-item discounts to value-based enterprise deals.
Price Tag Sleight of Hand
Kick off with a fast-paced interactive poll: ‘Which would you choose?’—three SaaS bundle options, each crafted using a different psychological pricing principle (decoy effect, anchoring, scarcity framing). Reveal live results, then break down why participants overwhelmingly prefer one over the others.

The Myth of ‘Rational’ Buyers
Use a myth-busting slide: ‘Enterprise customers always buy based on ROI spreadsheets.’ Invite participants to type (or say) one example when a deal wasn’t actually won on logical value. Rapid-fire, facilitator spotlights two or three, then reveals research on emotional buying in B2B.

Exposes and corrects a core misconception, opening minds to psychological nuance beyond classic procurement logic.
Bundle Building Jamboard
In pairs, participants jump into digital whiteboards (Jamboard/Miro): they are given a sample client persona and list of features. No wrong answers! Their only mission: drag-and-drop components into bundles that ‘feel’ premium, mid, or entry-level. Facilitator roams, spotlighting creative combos.

The CFO’s Dilemma

Then, share top ideas as a group.
