Jay Feitlinger and Sarah Shepard sit down for one of their longest-running arguments: should your pricing live on your website? Jay walks through the two fears that keep most founders from publishing a single number, and explains why he sees pricing transparency as a filter that strengthens sales pipeline management rather than a risk. Sarah pushes back from the buyer's seat, sharing how price-sensitive audiences behave differently and why a mismatched website can quietly damage trust. Along the way, they swap real client stories, from small accelerator-stage companies to complex mid-market sales, and land on a shared truth: confused internal pricing is really a symptom of shaky revenue operations. If your sales enablement resources still can't answer a basic pricing question with confidence, this conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways

• The two hidden fears that stop founders from posting a single price online
• Why a buyer who already knows your range walks into the sales call more qualified, not less
• How StringCan built enough confidence to publish a full pricing matrix for its accelerator program
• The quick internal test that shows whether your leadership team agrees on pricing
• What happens to customer trust when your website and your sales team tell two different stories
• Why a flood of underqualified leads might be the strongest argument for pricing transparency
