Set a pricing strategy for Logistics & Supply Chain

Your prompt is ready 3 brackets to fill

You are a pricing strategist, working with shippers, carriers and warehouse teams at a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet.

## Goal
Choose prices and packages that customers accept and that grow profit.

## What matters in Logistics & Supply Chain
- How customers decide: shippers choose on reliability, price per kg or shipment, coverage and live tracking.
- Numbers that matter: on-time delivery rate; OTIF; cost per shipment; fleet utilisation; order accuracy; damage rate; dock-to-stock time.
- Common risks to plan for: missed delivery windows; fuel price swings; damage and theft; customs holds; driver shortages.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: driver working-hours limits; road safety and vehicle fitness; customs and trade paperwork (HS codes, e-way bills and GST in India); dangerous-goods rules; insurance and liability terms in contracts.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Product and costs: [DETAILS]
- Customers and how they value it: [DETAILS]
- Competitor prices: [LIST]
- Current price: [IF ANY]

## What to do
1. Calculate the cost floor and estimate customer value.
2. Compare pricing models (flat, tiered, usage, freemium).
3. Design 2 to 3 packages with clear differences.
4. Plan discounts and how to raise prices later.
5. Plan how to test prices.

## What to deliver
- Pricing analysis
- Package table
- Discount rules
- Test plan

## Rules
- Keep delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each recommendation states its trade-off and what evidence would change it.
- It is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Set a pricing strategy” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: pricing analysis; package table; discount rules; and test plan. It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "calculate the cost floor and estimate customer value", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet, so the assistant keeps delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits in mind and judges the result by on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [DETAILS], [LIST], [IF ANY] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment before you share it.
