Pricing and Profitability Management: A Lever Worth Pulling
Nothing impacts business performance like a focus on pricing. Acting as a lever, small pricing improvements can realize big bottom-line benefits. Yet fewer than 3 percent of businesses effectively manage, execute or communicate prices. A successful improvement initiative requires a holistic, cross-functional approach. In this discussion, Julie provides insights into how companies can increase profitability through an effective pricing strategy.
Unintended Consequences: Understanding and Managing the Pricing Ripple Effect
Anyone who’s worked in pricing long enough knows that the price itself is only one small part of a much larger effort – it just happens to be the most visible component. Companies that effectively manage price understand the ripple effect that a change in one component can have on the entire organization and overall business performance. Those companies make deliberate decisions and anticipate the consequences, thus setting themselves up for sustained growth.
