Core Principles

Price as a Quality Signal

Jason Cohen: "Your prices are way too low because you just guessed and you haven't changed them. What often happens is you raise prices and signups don't change."

Stagnant or low pricing can inadvertently signal low quality to high-value customers who equate higher costs with higher-tier solutions.
