Principal Analyst at Constellation Research<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">, broke down how generative AI is shifting CRM pricing models, and suggested how companies can implement the new models into their customer service offerings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWe\u2019re going from historical CRM as a system of record [to] a system of action,&#8221; Schneider explained. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Under previous systems, CRMs would charge the same amount regardless of who was using it or how much value they got out of it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">However, with the rising popularity of AI agents, Schneider believes that \u201cfixed per-seat per-user price doesn\u2019t make as much sense in terms of value transaction between provider and user.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">What we\u2019re seeing with Agentic and Generative AI, outcomes can now be analyzed and measured because of the system, not because of the user.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Constellation Research VP also outlined some of the benefits and value that AI agents can deliver, stating:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cThese AI agents are digital workers that can be tied to the innovation in the CRM application, it\u2019s 24\/7, it\u2019s global, it\u2019s multi-currency, it knows everything about your company and products\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This change in pricing is moving towards paying for the work being done and the outcomes generated by these agents.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By evaluating how much you spend on your Agentic AI software a month in comparison to an SDR, you can judge how much more or less the AI is really worth to your workforce<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&#8220;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">You should be paying for that work that is getting done and for those improved outcomes,&#8221; Schneider said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Alternatively, Schneider suggests tying the prices directly to the results through the AI system, much like the e-commerce model:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cOthers in CRM are looking at it from value levers and outcomes-based \u2013 how much volume do you do, how complex is it, and we\u2019re going to take a percentage\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, he also notes the possibilities of the industry eventually replacing human agents with these AI models, as they can help \u201crationalize your spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cSince you\u2019re not paying humans anymore, you\u2019re actually saving money.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Which Vendors Are Leading the Charge On This New Pricing Strategy?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Currently, vendors are taking multiple approaches to moving from systems of record to systems of action.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In regards to Salesforce, Schneider notes how the company has taken a \u201cgamble\u201d in adopting their credits model, Flex Credits, which allows customers to &#8220;mix and match between users and credits when you renew.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This enables customers to either squash or reduce their CX\u00a0human headcount spending, allowing them to transfer more money to the AI credits.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hubspot is another major firm that is experimenting with new pricing models. Schneider commended the vendor for understanding the future shift towards consumption and providing inexpensive products with what the vendor refers to as &#8220;\u2018core users\u2019 for $70 and access to as many users as you want.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Away from the larger vendors, Schneider believes that new pricing models can be an effective play for small companies, as the &#8220;<span data-contrast=\"auto\">customer success space are small enough to be disruptive with this and be really forward thinking\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Elsewhere, other companies are taking intentional distances from AI by focusing on revenue protection, due to the \u201clack of predictability\u201d that comes with these new models.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This way, \u201cyou\u2019re not marrying yourself to one of these new models without seeing that lack of predictability,&#8221; Schneider explained. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Current State of the Market<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whilst the traditional per-seat per-user model is still popular in the industry, the rise of AI has clearly opened the door for alternative pricing systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And with the majority of these newer models still in their <span data-contrast=\"auto\">early, hybrid stages, it&#8217;s still unclear how they will perform in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt\u2019s so early to tell who\u2019s being successful with it because at the end of the day, most of these guys are still predominantly selling the per seat\/per user,\u201d Schneider says.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moreover, vendors have frequently expressed advantages towards the fixed model, as it provides the predictability necessary to project company growth, as well as being straightforward for clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite this, the growth of AI will likely demand a shift towards the newer model in the near future, as Schneider explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt\u2019s the future, but in the meantime, you\u2019re still renewing, selling and expanding your seats, new divisions and new departments\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CRM pricing models are set to change in the near future, as the system undergoes a significant revolution with the rise of AI.\u00a0 In a conversation with CX Today, Martin Schneider,\u00a0VP &amp;
