Pricing Perception Study
Understand how customers perceive your pricing relative to value. Detect whether price resistance is about the number or about unclear value communication.
Research Goal
Determine whether pricing objections stem from the actual price point or from a failure to communicate value.
Objectives
- 1.Separate true price sensitivity from value communication gaps
- 2.Understand what 'expensive' means in the customer’s context
- 3.Identify what would make the price feel justified
Interview Questions
Voice-first questions following the Voice Question Blueprint: time anchor, one clear ask, neutral guardrail.
Think about the last time you saw our pricing. What was your first reaction? Walk me through what went through your mind.
