Framework for value-based pricing that moves deals from $10K/mo → $40-100K/mo. Pre-call briefings, tiered package generation, post-call analysis, and a pattern library for training sales teams on proven pricing techniques.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Preparing for a sales call and need competitive data to anchor on value
- Building tiered pricing proposals for prospects at different deal sizes
- Analyzing sales call transcripts to score against the value-based pricing framework
- Training sales reps on proven pricing patterns and objection handling
- Upselling existing deals by identifying missed value levers

Configuration
All scripts use environment variables for API keys:
Optional Environment Variables
AHREFS_API_KEY— Ahrefs API key (Briefing Generator, optional — uses stubs without it)SEMRUSH_API_KEY— SEMrush API key (Briefing Generator, optional — uses stubs without it)ANTHROPIC_API_KEY— Anthropic API key (Call Analyzer, Pattern Library scenario mode)OPENAI_API_KEY— OpenAI API key (alternative to Anthropic for LLM features)
Scripts work without API keys using built-in stubs and sample data for testing.
Key Concepts
The Value-Based Pricing Framework
- Lead with data, not your pitch — Show the prospect their competitive gaps before discussing services
- Anchor high — Present the premium tier first so the target tier feels reasonable
- Tie price to value — Every dollar of investment maps to projected ROI
- Use competitive triggers — Competitor rankings activate urgency without being pushy
- Present tiered options — 3-4 tiers with clear tradeoffs, always including a performance option
Pricing Framework Score (0-100)
The call analyzer scores calls against these criteria:
- Showed data before pitching (20 pts)
- Presented tiered options (20 pts)
- Anchored high first (15 pts)
- Tied price to value/ROI (15 pts)
- Used competitive triggers (15 pts)
- Got prospect to state their own pain (15 pts)
