The Growth Marketing Manager is hired to own "the path from first visit to demo request or order the product". Today that path breaks on the product pages: Vega 1 Pro and Vega 1 U show specs, "Order Now" and a spec sheet but no price. The price ($75,000 and $42,000) only appears in the shop, and it leaves out the two grippers every robot needs ($3,000 to $4,900 each). The startup and university discounts ("$22K off", "up to $13K off") are given without the list price they come off. Quotes go through a free-text contact form. A lab or startup has to visit three pages and do the sum to learn what a working Vega costs.

Why it works
Add a short configurator to both product pages: robot, two grippers (S or D, with or without camera), optional exoskeleton, quantity, and a program box (startup, university or none). It shows the list total, the program saving and the price for eligible buyers, the 4-week lead time, and two buttons: "Order in the shop" with the configuration in the cart, and "Email me this quote as a PDF", which collects the email, institution and funding route and sends the lead to sales with the full configuration attached.
At $50,000 to $85,000, every buyer needs a number to take to a grant budget, a purchasing office or a co-founder. Giving it on the page turns anonymous spec readers into named quote requests with the robot, quantity and program already known, which is the lead capture and handoff the campaign and sales hires are measured on.

Risks and how to handle them
Showing the price scares off visitors
Show the program price next to the list price, and offer a call for fleet quantities.
Quotes drift from shop prices
Read prices from the shop catalogue, not a copy.
