PMM Files #152 – Fighting the Noise, Platform Pricing Done Right, and Showing Your Output


Read Time: 3.9 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

  • Love Navattic, but don't have time to build your demos?
  • DemoDash builds and maintains interactive demos for Navattic customers.
  • Started by two PMMs with over 100 demos under their belt.
  • ​Book a call with Eric and Jason to learn more.
​

Example #1 - Get in Front of the Noise

The "SaaS-pocalypse" is a hot topic right now, especially in legal.

Scott Stevenson, co-founder and CEO of Spellbook, makes his POV on the category clear.

GPTs for legal work have been around for years, but they've yet to take any share from specialized legal vendors. Why? Pros pay for highly specialized tools that go beyond a generalized chat interface.

When your product is facing a broad, well-known objection, it's important that your leadership is out in front, delivering the same message they expect from your marketing and sales teams.

Example #2 - Platform Pricing that Doesn’t Loose You

Multi-product, platform pricing is notoriously hard to explain. Stripe has dozens of products. How do you put that on one page?

Their approach: start simple, then layer. At the top, standard pricing, 2.9% + 30Β’ per transaction. Next to it, a custom path for enterprise buyers. Two options to get you started, right up front.

Scroll down and you hit the full platform, broken down by categories.

It's a lot of information to digest, but Stripe makes it less intimidating. A great example showing how the way you structure your pricing page makes a big difference.

Example #3 - Show What the Output Looks Like

This is a great example of a clear use case section.

With AI products, people need to see what they're actually getting, and Heidi, an AI assistant for clinicians, does this well.

Their use case section features a toggle where you can flip through multiple product capabilities and see the them in action, including an example output.

Example #4 - Make Complex Feel Easy

Finch's How it Works image does a great job showing what they do. It's simple, yet specific.

⬅️ On one side, 401GO, a 401K provider.
➑️ On the other, Gusto, a payroll provider.

In the middle, you see a simple flow, showing the connection facilitated by Finch, plus a description of the stuff it eliminates β€” manual CSV uploads and SFTP file setup.

Example #5 - How Companies Use Rollups

Cap table management and investor consolidation aren't simple concepts.

Rollups solves this by splitting their product into two use cases.

⬅️ On the left, Raise pools multiple investors into one entity and one line on your cap table.

➑️ On the right, Consolidate moves existing stakeholders into a single vehicle.

I love how clear and simple they make it to know which option you should explore. Bonus points for great moving visuals that tie everything together.

Meet DemoDash, an interactive demo agency for Navattic users

Interactive demos are everywhere in B2B SaaS right now. Buyers love them because they get to click through your product without waiting for a sales call.

But here’s the problem: marketing teams are stretched thinner than ever.

You’re managing campaigns, creating content, updating the website, supporting sales, launching features, reporting on metrics, and somehow still expected to build and maintain a library of interactive demos.

Something’s gotta give.

That’s why Jason and Eric Holland created DemoDash.

Between them, they’ve built over 100 demos on the Navattic platform, for clients and past employers. They know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get demos shipped without adding to your already-full plate.

If you want interactive demos as part of your GTM but need an agency partner to make it happen, talk to the DemoDash team.
