99 | Belief, Data, and AI: Making Confident Pricing Decisions | Bill Wilson


Listen Later

In this episode, host Brendon Dennewill sits down with Bill Wilson, Founder and CEO of Pace Pricing and three-time software entrepreneur with over 20 years building and scaling SaaS companies. Bill shares how he evolved from software developer to pricing strategist after recognizing the deep anxiety founders face around pricing decisions. Through his work guiding hundreds of SaaS teams, he's discovered that pricing isn't just a numbers game—it's about alignment, belief, and understanding the jobs customers hire products to do.

The conversation explores why pricing, product, and positioning cannot be separated, and how misalignment at the leadership level cascades throughout organizations, leaving money on the table. Bill unpacks his PACE framework (Profile, Architect, Calibrate, Execute) and explains why he shifted from pure data-driven decisions to building belief through iterative validation. He also tackles how AI is fundamentally reshaping SaaS business models, from enabling outcome-based pricing to introducing new cost structures that challenge traditional economies of scale.

This episode is essential for SaaS founders, RevOps leaders, product executives, and B2B growth teams looking to unlock revenue through strategic pricing, eliminate cross-functional friction, and prepare their business models for an AI-driven future.
