Our Mission

At Dolomite Consulting, we help B2B AI companies grow revenue through pricing, packaging, and strategic planning.

Most teams lack the right mix of skills at the intersection of product, finance, data, and go-to-market to tackle complex challenges like pricing and packaging—yet we know this is often the biggest lever for growth outside product features.

We also know that strategic decisions often fail not from lack of judgment, but from lack of intelligence: the patience and skill to dig into the data, understand every feature and every customer, and apply sound judgment to tough questions.

We aim to be the most down-to-earth help you'll ever hire, focused on delivering real, measurable outcomes.

Pricing Strategy & Implementation

Summary

Take the guesswork out of what to charge. Our Pricing Strategy Redesign service helps SaaS startups move from gut-feel pricing to a data-backed model that maximizes revenue, boosts win rates, and strengthens your investor story.

What You Get

  • Market and competitor benchmarking
  • Value-based pricing recommendations
  • Segmented or regional price guidance
  • Discounting and deal desk guardrails

Why It Matters

Pricing is one of the most powerful growth levers in SaaS, yet most founders set it once and leave it untouched. A smart pricing reset can unlock higher ACV, shorten sales cycles, and improve retention—all while building credibility with boards and investors.

How It Works

01Discovery

Review current pricing approach and business goals.

02Research

Benchmark against peers and gather customer insights.

03Design

Build value-based pricing options.

04Delivery

Present recommendations with clear financial impact.

Packaging Strategy & Tiering Design

Summary

Make sure your product sells itself. Our Packaging Strategy Design service helps you structure tiers, bundles, and add-ons that land customers in the right plan and create natural pathways for expansion.

What You Get

  • Tier design (good/better/best, usage-based, or persona-based)
  • Feature gating and add-on monetization strategy
  • Freemium or free trial optimization
  • Upsell and cross-sell playbook

Why It Matters

Customers don’t just buy software—they buy the way it’s packaged. Poorly structured tiers confuse buyers and stall deals. Smart packaging ensures customers start in the right place and grow with you, driving stronger net revenue retention (NRR).

How It Works

01Audit

Assess current packaging and feature alignment.

02Design

Create optimized tiers and add-on structure.

03Model

04Delivery

Package strategy and rollout plan.

Pricing Strategy

B2B SaaS Pricing Overhaul Drives 10x ARR Growth

The Challenge

A late-stage B2B SaaS company ($3B valuation) was struggling to capture growth in its long-tail and SMB customer segments. After an unsuccessful MVP launch and a second product revamp, the company still lacked a monetization roadmap. ARR stagnated below $1M, despite the product's strategic importance.

Our Approach

  • Sized the opportunity: Defined the product's true market headroom at $100M, and set a fact-based $10M first-year target using competitor benchmarks on penetration and pricing models.
  • Redesigned monetization: Planned and executed a sequence of pricing experiments, shifting from monthly to daily subscriptions and adjusting price points bi-monthly. Average daily pricing rose from $10 to $35, driving LTV up by 80%.
  • Boosted demand during low seasons: Deployed targeted promotions, segmented discount strategies, and refined lifecycle campaigns (email + in-product nudges) across three core customer groups.
  • Built a revenue engine: Created forecast models anchored in seasonality, conversion, churn, and customer segmentation insights to guide ongoing decision-making.

The Impact

  • ARR jumped from <$1M to $10M in the first year, surpassing targets.
  • ARR nearly doubled again, reaching ~$20M in the first half of Year 2.
  • The product line became profitable within two years of investment.

Pricing Strategy

$100M SaaS Unlocks Growth with Usage-Based Pricing

The Challenge

A $100M revenue B2B recruiting software company faced slowing new business and weak NDR. Its fixed-price model created high entry barriers for smaller deals and lacked alignment with delivered value, fueling difficult renewal conversations. The company needed a flexible pricing model that could capture upside, retain accounts, and scale with customer value.

Our Approach

  • Benchmarked competitors: Analyzed usage-based pricing levers across the industry, weighing pros and cons to align with the client's data capabilities and strategic differentiation goals.
  • Redesigned pricing structure: Built a bespoke hybrid fixed/variable model to enable gradual shifts without disrupting revenue predictability.
  • Pricing model & impact sizing: Ran pricing simulations with multiple parameters (feature gates, usage tiers, unit pricing) across customer archetypes to project revenue and define migration paths.
  • Validated with the market: Conducted discovery and pilot programs, refining 5–7 customer archetypes with tailored migration policies and pricing options.
  • Enabled launch success: Supported product build, sales kick-off, enablement, and deal desk operations to ensure smooth rollout.

The Impact

  • Executed the largest pricing transformation in company history—in less than 6 months.
  • Set to capture $20M incremental ARR in Year 1, by aligning heavy-user revenue with actual usage.
  • Protected the $100M core base while creating flexible migration paths for all customer segments.
  • Accelerated new business velocity with a more accessible and value-aligned pricing model.

Packaging

Mid-Market SaaS Package Unlocks New Revenue Growth

The Challenge

A growth-stage B2B SaaS company had strong enterprise and SMB offerings, but its good/better/best stack had clear gaps in the mid-market tier. This left revenue on the table and hindered enterprise pipeline growth by failing to provide a compelling mid-market offering.

Our Approach

  • Sized the opportunity: Assessed customer segment size, competitive positioning, and mid-market revenue potential to inform packaging decisions, set the headroom of this package at $60–100M.
  • Structured features strategically: Reviewed full list of features, classifying them as table-stakes, pricing levers, value-add, or stickiness levers, defining their role in packaging.
  • Defined pricing gates: Used data analysis to set usage limits (users, messages, etc.) and optimize pricing to align with peers.
  • Optimized tiering & differentiation: Adjusted the full good/better/best stack (SMB → mid-market → enterprise), removing or reallocating features to create meaningful mid-market differentiation.
  • Piloted and validated: Ran handpicked customer pilots to test the new mid-market package, gathering user research before beta sales and full rollout.

The Impact

  • New product launched within 6 months of designing, with a $2M annual target that it's on track for (already realized $0.5M a few weeks in).

B2C Tech Launches B2B Video Platform & AI Growth

The Challenge

A large B2C company sought to monetize its tech infrastructure by launching its first B2B business. Leadership had minimal B2B experience, investment stakes were high, and the team needed to define a new product portfolio and GTM strategy from scratch—while ensuring choices were rigorous, defensible, and scalable.

Our Approach

  • Clarified strategic goals: Helped leadership decide whether B2B efforts prioritized short-term monetization or long-term strategic positioning, each requiring distinct approaches.
  • Narrowed product directions with rigorous research: Evaluated four major directions (data, video, AIML, infrastructure) using bottoms-up TAM modeling, competitor intelligence down to top accounts and GTM tactics, and realistic assessments of the client's competitive edge.
  • Debated product focus: Selected the video platform direction—counterintuitively not the largest TAM, but where the client held a sustainable advantage—and defined a secondary sub-direction (livestreaming) with a concrete product vision.
  • Designed beachhead product & GTM: Defined top customer personas, refined markets by geography and industry, and built pilot sales programs with SDRs to test and validate GTM challenges.
  • Piloted and iterated: Conducted handpicked account pilots, incorporated early learnings, and refined product scope, messaging, and launch strategy.

The Impact

  • Secured R&D investment equivalent to 70 headcounts, after presenting at Group CEO level.
  • Within two years, the new B2B business grew from $0 to $40M, establishing a scalable product portfolio and validated GTM model.
  • Created a strong ramp into AI, leveraging the client's video tech edge—now one of the company's key exponential growth drivers.

Capital Allocation for Competing Product Bets

The Challenge

CFOs and CEOs often struggle to allocate limited capital across competing priorities and justify early-stage product bets to investors. Our client faced this exact problem: with a $10M R&D budget for a nascent product (with over 30 proposed features to build), what was a realistic yet ambitious goal? How should they prioritize must-have features, allocate capital, and define expected ROI in stages for the product roadmap?

Our Approach

  • Top-down goal setting: Used market analysis to size the long-term potential of the product bet and define ambitious targets, e.g., achieving 3X growth in the first year to capture meaningful headroom.
  • Growth levers analysis: Built a detailed understanding of product, pricing, conversion, seasonality, engagement, retention, and churn to set a baseline and identify what would drive growth.
  • Feature-level modeling: Reviewed proposed product features and investments, modeling expected impact and required resources for each feature build proposed. Produced a clear priority list linking each feature to estimated ROI and capital required.
  • Trade-off and sequencing: Reconciled top-down targets with the investment envelope to make data-driven decisions on allocation and roadmap sequencing.

The Impact

Delivered a fact-based, ambitious capital allocation framework, providing the CFO and leadership with:

  • Clear, measurable KPIs along the way of product build (e.g., conversion targets to reach 3X growth).
  • A prioritized, dollar-backed roadmap for product and R&D investments.
  • Decision-making guardrails to track progress and adjust as the product developed.

This approach enabled the client to invest confidently in early-stage bets while keeping resources aligned to the most impactful opportunities.
