Microsoft Copilot Pricing – How To Talk Money
Microsoft Copilot pricing is a common buyer blocker. As a partner:
- Know Microsoft's published license models (add-on vs. bundled offers).
- Sell value: price per seat × time saved × process improvements.
- Offer packaging: e.g., "Starter POC (2 weeks) + Migration (fixed fee) + Managed Copilot Service (monthly)".
- Consider consumption and uplift: some clients prefer predictable managed fees rather than per-seat variability.
- Present price as part of a business case: "This is X license cost vs Y hours saved per month = ROI in Z months."
