Strategic Price Management

Boost your profit margins in highly-competitive markets by managing your prices actively and systematically.

Background

Many organizations today are facing increasing price pressure and are looking for possibilities to improve their profit margins. The prevailing thinking is that customers buy solely based on price and that this situation can hardly be changed. Successful companies manage their prices actively based on a clearly-defined process. They use powerful levers to boost their turnover and profit in spite of strong competition.
