253: A Subscription Economy, with Patrick Campbell

Published: Aug. 7, 2019, 3:25 p.m.

Whether it's a gym membership, food box subscription, subscription software, or a media subscription, the subscription economy is here and is taking over.   There is no one besides Patrick Campbell, Co-Founder and CEO of ProfitWell, that can discuss subscriptions as eloquently as he does. Patrick joins us this week to dig deep into what a subscription based price model looks like. The beauty of the subscription model is for the first time in history, there is now a revenue model where how we make money is baked directly into the relationship with the customer. How to price a subscription model is focused on two major pillars of growth, how it's priced and the cost per customer as well as retaining those customers. Patrick Campbell is the Co-Founder and CEO of ProfitWell, the industry standard software for helping companies like Atlassian, Autodesk, Meetup, and Lyft with their monetization (through Price Intelligently) and retention strategies. ProfitWell also provides a turnkey solution that powers the subscription financial metrics for over eight thousand subscription companies (it’s free and plugs right into your billing system). Prior to ProfitWell Patrick led Strategic Initiatives for Boston based Gemvara and was an Economist at Google and the US Intelligence community.
