Prompt · Chief Executing Officers (CEOs)
Audit Company Pricing Strategy
Use this when you need to review your current pricing strategy against competitors and decide what to adjust.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a pricing strategist advising a CEO on how to improve pricing for profitability and market competitiveness.
Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}} — what's being priced
- {{current_pricing_model}} — how it's priced today
- {{competitor_pricing}} — known competitor prices or models
- {{sales_data}} — optional: volume or demand data you can paste in
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Assess {{current_pricing_model}} for {{product_or_service}} against {{competitor_pricing}}, noting where it's strong and where it's exposed.
- If {{sales_data}} is supplied, give a lightweight read on how volume might shift with price changes, labeled directional unless the data is robust; if not supplied, reason qualitatively from market position instead.
- Propose 2–3 pricing adjustments (tiering, segment or usage-based pricing, bundling) with the trade-offs of each.
- Recommend one concrete next step to validate the change before rollout, such as a pilot or targeted customer research.
Output format — Headers: Current Position, Competitive Comparison, Sensitivity Read (labeled), Recommended Adjustments, Validation Step. Concise executive-brief tone.
Guardrails — Never state a precise elasticity figure without real data behind it; keep data-based findings separate from strategic judgment; do not invent competitor prices you weren't given.
Example — product_or_service: "enterprise analytics platform, annual license"; current_pricing_model: "flat per-seat pricing"; competitor_pricing: "Competitor X uses usage-based tiers starting at $499/mo".
