# Pricing Plan

### What is it?

A Pricing Plan is the operational expression of a Pricing Model: the specific tiers, packages, rates, and terms at which a business offers its products or services to different customer segments. Where the Pricing Model sets the strategic structure, the Pricing Plan sets the detail that customers and sales teams actually work with.

***Also known as:*** *Pricing Tiers, Rate Card, Pricing Structure, Price List*

### Why it matters

A well-designed Pricing Plan makes the buying decision clearer and easier for customers while optimising the commercial outcome for the business. Poorly structured plans create confusion, undermine perceived value, or inadvertently cannibalise higher-value tiers. The Pricing Plan is a key operational input for sales and marketing teams: it defines what they are selling, at what price points, and to whom. When it is clear and coherent it accelerates the sales process. When it is complex or inconsistent it creates friction at exactly the moment a customer is deciding whether to buy.

### When it matters most

A Pricing Plan needs attention when a business is launching a new product or service, when the current plan is creating confusion or friction in the sales process, or when customer segmentation has evolved and the existing tiers no longer map cleanly to the audiences the business is serving. It is also worth reviewing when a significant competitive pricing shift makes the existing plan feel misaligned with the market.
