een Consulting
een Consulting is focused on helping to improve B2B pricing. Improving pricing is difficult:
It's a complex topic: economics, psychology, channel partners, strategic relationships, dynamic
Cross-functional collaboration: fixing a problem in one area can cause something to break elsewhere
Leadership “don’t know what good looks like” and pressure to “make the numbers” each quarter
Marketing sensitive to criticism of pricing skills
Sales sensitive to losing control: “we know the market”
Metrics polluted with other market changes
Disparate systems, poor quality data
Data not set-up to support pricing
Having said all that, it's a "bridge worth building": pricing is the most powerful profit lever - more than decreasing costs or increasing volumes.
With over 15 years experience in B2B pricing across a range of industries and across all aspects of pricing (including value propositions), we have unmatched ability to improve your pricing performance, fast and sustainably.
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of
low price is forgotten"
- Benjamin Franklin
