## INTRO — Hook (0:00-0:15)

**SCRIPT:**
"If your SaaS trial-to-paid conversion rate is under 5%...
[PAUSE 1 beat]
...your pricing page is probably making at least one of these
three mistakes."

**DIRECTION:**
- Start with direct eye contact, slight lean forward
- Pause after "5%" — let the number land
- Small head shake on "at least one" — implies it might be all three

pages with red X overlays appearing on common problem areas.

## MISTAKE 1 (0:15-0:55)

**SCRIPT:**
"Mistake number one — too many tiers. [GESTURE: hold up one finger]

I audit SaaS pricing pages every week, and the most common
problem I see is four or five tiers that look almost identical.
Your prospect lands on the page, sees a wall of feature
checkmarks, and their brain does... nothing. They leave.

[LEAN IN] Here is what actually works: three tiers maximum.
A starter that gets them in the door, a growth tier that is
the obvious choice — visually highlighted, labeled 'Most Popular'
— and an enterprise tier for social proof. That is it."

**DIRECTION:**
- Hold up index finger clearly on "number one"
- Slow delivery on "their brain does... nothing" — let it breathe
- Lean in slightly on "Here is what actually works"
- Count on fingers as listing the three tiers

**B-ROLL CUT (0:25-0:30):** Side-by-side: cluttered 5-tier
pricing page vs. clean 3-tier page. Red overlay on cluttered,
green overlay on clean.

## MISTAKE 2 (0:55-1:35)

**SCRIPT:**
"Mistake two — hiding the price. [GESTURE: two fingers]

I know, I know — 'Contact sales' feels premium. But here is
the data: pages that show pricing convert 2.3x better than
'book a demo' gated pricing. Two-point-three times.

Unless you are genuinely selling six-figure enterprise contracts,
show the number. Transparency builds trust, and trust converts."

**DIRECTION:**
- Knowing nod on "I know, I know" — acknowledge the counterargument
- Emphasize "2.3x" with a brief eyebrow raise
- Repeat "two-point-three times" slowly for emphasis
- Direct eye contact through "transparency builds trust"

**B-ROLL CUT (1:05-1:10):** Animated stat graphic: "2.3x
higher conversion with visible pricing" with source citation.

## MISTAKE 3 (1:35-2:10)

**SCRIPT:**
"And mistake three — annual-only billing on the signup page.
[GESTURE: three fingers]

Monthly billing is your acquisition tool. It lowers the
commitment barrier. Yes, annual billing is better for your
cash flow — but offer both, default to monthly on the page,
and then upsell annual with a discount badge during onboarding.

Do not make them commit to a year before they have even tried
the product."

**DIRECTION:**
- Slight exasperation on "annual-only" — common frustration
- Calm, advisory tone on the solution
- Finger tap on desk for emphasis on "offer both"

---

## CTA (2:10-2:30)

**SCRIPT:**
"Quick recap: three tiers maximum, show your prices, and
default to monthly billing. Fix these three things and I
guarantee your conversion rate improves within 30 days.

If you found this useful, I break down SaaS growth tactics
every Tuesday — hit subscribe so you do not miss the next one."

**DIRECTION:**
- Count off on three fingers during recap
- Direct, confident delivery on the guarantee
- Warm smile on the subscribe CTA — not salesy
- End with a small nod — signals authority and closure
