Every Agave product is priced after a discovery call, a demo and a proposal, and the CEO has been running sales and is "now the bottleneck". Each unqualified demo costs the scarcest time in the company.

Why it works
Add a typical range per product for three revenue bands (under $50M, $50M to $500M, over $500M), the implementation fee where one applies, and the bundle discount. Keep "custom proposal" for final numbers.
Construction controllers expect to see a number before booking time. Ranges filter out buyers who can't afford it, warm up the ones who can, and let AEs start the call at scope rather than price.
Risks and how to handle them
Competitors see pricing
Ranges by band reveal little; buyers will share proposals anyway.
