Your ordinary pricing decision maker has to answer a lot of questions:
- What price level and structure best enable my sales organization to win?
- How can I defend my prices from Ernest Deepockets at my largest account?
- How can I create a negotiation strategy that creates a win-win result?
- What service gap can I fill that will make me a little more margin?
Of the three primary pricing belief systems – Cost Based, Market Based and Value Based – only value pricing provides a good answer to these day-to-day challenges. In fact, value pricing has three great advantages:
- It is an integrated system from planning through execution. Put the pieces together and it seriously hums, wicked good.
- But if you only need a screwdriver or wrench, it is big red toolbox you can reach into to address pricing problems as they arise.
- It just makes sense. It makes sense to marketing, finance, sales and of course, customers.
So join me onboard SpaceShipTwo for an out of this world look at value pricing. The view is breathtaking.
