Building outcome-based pricing for Fin for Sales
Blog post from Intercom
Fin's outcome-based pricing model for its AI sales agent revolves around charging $10 per qualified lead, allowing customers to define what "qualified" means based on their business needs. This approach reflects a shift from activity-based to results-based pricing, aligning costs with the tangible value delivered by Fin, such as creating a pipeline of qualified opportunities. Unlike charging per conversation or revenue share, this method ensures that Fin is accountable only for the part of the process it controls—qualifying leads—while avoiding the complexities of tracking closed revenue, which involves numerous external variables. The model is designed to be transparent and grounded in extensive customer research that shows a preference for outcome-aligned pricing, balancing value, measurability, and implementation feasibility. This innovative approach not only offers compelling economics compared to traditional sales development roles but also introduces a new capability for businesses that previously lacked such resources.
