“If your team's still selling features, your packaging is broken. Most CEOs focus on scaling sales, but they overlook pricing and packaging as core revenue levers. When your pricing aligns with the value you deliver, value-based selling becomes second nature, discounting drops, and revenue growth accelerates. You don't need a new product—you need a smarter way to package what you already have.” That's a quote from Roee Hartuv and a sneak peek at today's episode.

Welcome, Roee. Please introduce yourself and share your background and expertise.

Hello, and thanks for having me. My name is Roee Hartuv. I currently focus on pricing and packaging as an advisor. Over the past five years, I’ve worked in the broader area of go-to-market excellence, helping transform go-to-market strategies and operations. Before that, I was a SaaS—or software—seller.
Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:35.745)
Excellent. Thank you, Roee. We’re excited to have you back. This is actually your second time with us. Last time, we covered different stages of go-to-market with a focus on customer success and the importance of net and gross recurring revenue. Today, I want to dive into what you’re focusing on now. Let’s talk about willingness to pay and your specialty at your new company.

In the past five years, I’ve helped companies generate more revenue—everyone’s top priority. Most conversations revolve around process improvements, automation, or AI-enabled productivity, all aimed at increasing win rates and reducing churn. I’ve done all that, but I realized one lever delivers the best ROI and is often the quickest and simplest to pull: pricing and packaging.
Once I understood that, I decided to spend most of my time there—helping companies increase revenue by getting pricing and packaging right. You don’t necessarily need a new product; you need a smarter way to package what you already have. That’s what we do at Willingness to Pay: pricing and packaging, and we’ve seen great results.
Kerry Curran, RBMA (03:02.094)
I agree. Companies spend a lot of effort cutting costs and increasing efficiency, yet overlook pricing. When prospects contact you, what business challenges are they trying to solve?
Roee Hartuv (03:43.564)
When they come to us, they already sense a pricing or packaging issue—and most companies have one. Early on, no single person truly owns pricing. Is it finance, the CRO, product, or product marketing? Because no one owns it, pricing often stays untouched for years while products, features, and value grow. For example, a client recently added a fantastic AI feature but decided to charge only $5,000 a year—far below the value it delivers.
The main problem is that companies don’t adapt pricing and packaging to market dynamics. As a result, they leave money on the table. The most common pain we hear: “Our sellers keep talking features instead of value. They give big discounts, and we know we’re underpricing.” That’s the core challenge: enabling value-based selling through better packaging.

Beyond revenue growth, pricing can boost average contract value and reduce churn. Still, many leaders hesitate to raise prices. What objections do you hear most, and how do you address them?
Roee Hartuv (05:38.68)
Two big fears: First, customer success worries that price
