999$/year task manager
I want to sell the most expensive "task manager", is that crazy? (I actually want the 999$ price point to be the lowest of the 3 options after discounts price..)
Will you even consider such a price point for a task manager? As a buying customer?
What if I sell you about how unique it is unlike the typical 2 modules that all other systems are based on?
Should I sell you on the science and name drop all the great people you heard about that deal with self development, motivation, drive and human performance?
Or should I approach it as the opinionated system that would actually guild you on how to work with your brain instead of against it?
Or just get away from the mainstream comparison and sell it as a life coaching system?..
What would make you give something like that a look?
Or would you go totally different about it?
I think it's an interesting prompt for an idea: what would people pay $1000 for?
You're right that it has to be unique, but that's not enough on its own, because there are tons of unique task managers on the web. Ideally it would solve an expensive $1000 problem that other task managers can't/don't solve. But my prediction is you'd end up building a special purpose B2B tool rather than a general purpose task manager.
Alternatively, could try to make something super exclusive and appeal to the luxury crowd. But it'd likely need to be exclusive in terms of functionality, not just price. For example, a task manager powered by real people on the back end.
A corollary: businesses gladly pay $1000 for a variety of things. (And much, much more than $1000, too).
there are already Tons of task manager.
Most of them have free plan that are used by most of the registered.
I have done some ads for a client that have similar projet, CPC was very high, most of visitors signup to free plan.
And to get the big fish (large companies that can pay per seat), it's very hard to convice them to use the tool because they are already using an other one. And in most of case, all the task managers have the same features. So they didn't see any added value (which is true...)
Anyway, good luck
You can set any price, even $9,999. But what's the point if nobody will buy it (only if your market is people who are crazy about buying expensive / luxury things).
That's the question, will it sell?..
"people who are crazy about buying expensive / luxury things"
Should have crossed my mind that it could be different to the target I was thinking about which are higher performance individuals...
what would it do? would it be targetted toward individuals or companies? if it makes employees more productive, companies are always willing to shell out, though $999 could seem high depending on what it offers
It targets individuals, while I was thinking of either higher performance people or business owners.. people who make their time / life count..
Surely the idea is to increase productivity.
What do you think would make it worth it?
My idea kinda includes an opinionated system that guilds you and coaches you along to get the more valuable things done.
Maybe it is easier to talk about it like coaching, lets say you get a coach to look at your lists each week and give you a nudge in the right direction..
Would that make it worth the price?
The idea being it's going to be an algorithm long term and at <99$/month that's way cheaper than getting an hour of coaching once a month.. due coaching sessions are an up-sell idea for bigger packages..
I feel like the pricing could work, if you think you could get it to a point where it really does increase someone's productivity significantly
