Are your shareholders demanding results that your current pricing function and technology cannot deliver? Whether your response is ‘yes’ or ‘not yet’, the market pressure is ‘on’ as best-in-class companies acknowledge the positive impact that strategic pricing initiatives are having on their bottom line. However, many pricing managers are challenged with moving the pricing function out of the back office – adding it to the executive priority list agenda – and engaging sales, product management and finance in strategic discussions.
During this session, we will share a template for assessing where your company is on its path to best-in-class pricing. And offer practical insights and tips on what you can do to expand your scope of influence, organize your team and gain executive support for a strategic pricing initiative.
