About the Course

All too often, companies around the world struggle to reduce costs, press hard for increased volume, or search desperately for new ways to grow when significant profits are sitting there, waiting to be taken, in the form of better Pricing. Superior Pricing can help in outperforming competitors, reinforcing brand strengths, creating more bonded channel loyalty, and increasing employee morale and productivity, all the whilst delivering potently higher returns to stakeholders.

Particularly in the new era of customer price sensitivity and awareness, many organisations have fallen behind with pricing methodologies that best value their products and generate maximum profits.

This intensive 2-day workshop, suitable for B2C and B2B marketers, will empower attendees with the key initiatives, models and issues to produce creative and profit-maximising pricing strategies and tactics, in the both the short term and the long run.

Participants will complete the workshop with a wealth of knowledge in pricing strategies for coping with ever-changing market conditions and potential new sources of sustainable competitive advantage.

Unlike Pricing workshops you may have been exposed to before, this exposes the connective tissue between pricing and corporate governance, inspiring pricing that is perfect. In commercial terms, you’ll learn to understand Pricing better than any PhD academic, because you’ll be given the means by which to connect their theory to real, everyday problems.

Embrace key issues, methods and functions of strategic pricing so you can apply better pricing strategy and innovative pricing approaches. Be introduced to new thoughts, perceptions and paths to success that might otherwise stay hidden indefinitely.

Full of up-to-date material, as well as topic matter inspired by past attendees from companies like Nestle, Subway, Dell and others, one recent attendee, said, “Your Pricing Strategy workshop was the best marketing strategy workshop I have attended in my whole career!”
