Summary

Too many companies do a poor job in pricing and licensing their software-enabled solutions.They need help.
Unfortunately, they can’t find it. The old books on pricing don’t cover the incredible breadth and depth of modern software-enabled solutions. And none of the books on business models, design thinking, UX, or value streams provide direct, actionable guidance on pricing, licensing, and creating a sustainable profit.
To fix this, I am co-authoring a book on software pricing and licensing with Jason Tanner, CEO of Applied Frameworks.

Our book:
  • Fills the gap in the Business Model and Value Proposition Canvas
  • Replaces the old, boring books on pricing with a visually stunning book written for Millennials and Gen Zers
  • Shows how value streams must evolve into Software Profit Streams™
Our book will be successful because:
  • We are serial entrepreneurs – we get stuff done
  • We are prolific authors and educators
  • We are globally recognized experts in Scrum and SAFe (Luke is one of just six principal contributors to SAFe)
  • We investing more than $250K creating a whole product solution that leverages the book including training, certifications, assessments, and a community
  • We will invest a minimum $50K+ in promoting the book

Excerpt

You cannot possibly experience the emotional power of a book as gorgeous as this through plain text.

I’ll know you’re the right agent if you take the time to review even just 5 pages of our proposal.
