What is the Pricing Model for inTandem?
At inTandem, we provide multiple pricing models to cater to diverse market needs and go-to-market strategies. Our GTM (Go-to-Market) team works closely with the parties involved to define the most suitable packaging strategy, considering our experience in the SMB (Small and Medium Business) market and our partners’ business objectives. Here are the recommended subscription models that are popular among our partners.
▸ Lead Nurturing & Business Management (recommended for Marketing Agencies, Website Building Services, Directories, and Yellow Pages):
This pricing strategy offers a streamlined Lead Management solution that captures leads from multiple sources, notifies the user via email & push notification, and enables the user to store and engage with them via a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and instant messaging. This plan also includes basic lead nurturing functionality to help users engage leads and clients, helping them close more deals and generate more repeat business. Please note that the lower-tier plan is designed for a single business user and will not support multiple staff members within the same account. The higher-tier plan is “Business Management,” which allows users to not only nurture and convert leads but also manage all aspects of their daily business operations, including scheduling, payment orchestration, client communication, and more.
▸ Lite Business Management & Complete Business Management:
This model offers two tiers of a Business Management solution. The lower-tier package provides basic functionality and is built for one user, while the higher-tier package supports more advanced business needs and can be used by teams with several staff members collaborating.
▸ Payment Management & Business Management (recommended for Financial Service Providers, Banks, and Fintechs):
This approach enables partners to offer a lean payment collection and processing solution that empowers users to streamline their billing and gain better control over their finances. This plan includes features that support a wide range of billing workflows such as estimate generation and invoicing, payment links, automated and scheduled billing, and more. The higher-tier plan allows users to not only collect payments but also manage all aspects of their daily business operations, including client communication management., scheduling, marketing, and more.
In summary, inTandem provides a range of pricing models to meet diverse market needs and GTM strategies. By choosing one of our recommended subscription models, our partners can benefit from our experience and expertise in serving the SMB market and achieving their business goals effectively.
What is the Upsell Process?
Upsells are a crucial part of inTandem’s strategy to drive revenue growth and user engagement. We use both assisted and unassisted funnels to promote upsells to our customers.
▸ Unassisted Upsells: Automated communication that does not require the involvement of sales teams:
We offer several ways to upsell our customers without direct sales team involvement. For example, users can discover features within the solution UX. While some premium features may not be available on lower-tier plans, they are not removed from the product. Instead, they remain visible but in a “locked” mode, which encourages users to upgrade and unlock the solution’s full capabilities. Additionally, we use in-app banners and contextual pop-ups to prompt users to upgrade. These prompts are mostly trigger-based and linked directly to actions the user is already taking in the app. Finally, we offer event-based email marketing to promote feature discovery and adoption and encourage users to explore the platform’s full potential. All upsell communication is white-labeled and features partner branding.
▸ Assisted Upsells:
We offer a flexible partnership model that enables our partners to define their level of ownership over customer-facing services such as sales, support, and customer success. Some partners prefer to manage their SMB customers independently, based on training provided by inTandem. Others opt to leverage our expertise and rely on our internal team to cover these areas on their behalf.
In cases where our partners choose to leverage inTandem’s SMB-facing team, we proactively reach out to SMBs or invite them to book a demo with a sales representative to deliver upsell services. This service is provided by the inTandem team on behalf of the partner, and the inTandem brand is not exposed during interactions with partner users.
