title: "Building outcome-based pricing for Fin for Sales"
description: "Fin for Sales uses outcome-based pricing built around qualified pipeline rather than activity: customers pay $10 per qualified lead, with qualification criteria defined by the customer. The model reflects Fin’s role in engaging prospects, gathering information, evaluating them against those criteria, and routing high-intent buyers to sales representatives. The team rejected revenue-share pricing because attribution would include factors outside Fin’s control, while measuring closed revenue would require deep CRM integrations and slow implementation. Disqualifications and support queries are priced at $1, matching the stated service pricing, while the higher qualified-lead price represents pipeline creation. The company says customer research across several pricing models favored outcome-aligned pricing, and cites early customer feedback reporting at least ten times the value."

# Building outcome-based pricing for Fin for Sales

## Summary

Fin for Sales uses outcome-based pricing built around qualified pipeline rather than activity: customers pay $10 per qualified lead, with qualification criteria defined by the customer. The model reflects Fin’s role in engaging prospects, gathering information, evaluating them against those criteria, and routing high-intent buyers to sales representatives. The team rejected revenue-share pricing because attribution would include factors outside Fin’s control, while measuring closed revenue would require deep CRM integrations and slow implementation. Disqualifications and support queries are priced at $1, matching the stated service pricing, while the higher qualified-lead price represents pipeline creation. The company says customer research across several pricing models favored outcome-aligned pricing, and cites early customer feedback reporting at least ten times the value.

## Context

Fin’s sales role creates value through qualified opportunities rather than resolved support queries. The post says sales teams can be overwhelmed by low-quality leads, while revenue-based pricing would attribute factors beyond Fin’s control and require burdensome CRM integration.

## Approach / What changed

Fin for Sales charges $10 per qualified lead, with customers defining their own qualification criteria. Disqualifications and support queries cost $1, preserving the service pricing model while assigning a higher price to pipeline creation.

## Takeaways

- Customers, rather than Fin, define what qualifies as a lead, allowing criteria to reflect contract values, rep capacity, and business context.
- Revenue share was rejected because deal outcomes depend on factors such as demos, product outages, and budget changes, while closed-revenue tracking would require deep CRM integration.
- Fin charges $1 for disqualified prospects and support resolutions, compared with $10 for qualified leads because pipeline creation is treated as the higher-value outcome.
