Are Poor Value Capture Strategies Leaving Money on the Table?
December 9, 2015
Media Alert
WHAT: In today’s competitive market, it’s critically important that companies clearly define and communicate the value of their goods and services during the sales cycle.
Focusing on pricing as a pre-sales activity is important. Still, there are far too many decisions that occur after a sale – including terms, contracts, renewals and rebate programs – that can lead to value loss. Astute companies know they must also address post-sales pricing actions to ensure they are not giving away profit through unplanned discounts, incentives and uncontrolled pricing policies.
An effective value capture strategy helps ensure organizations get their expected profits through the entire process, which reduces the possibility of leaving money on the table. With discipline, execution and follow-through, value capture can have a powerful impact on profitability.
This informative webinar presented by PROS and the Professional Pricing Society (PPS) will offer insights and best practices on implementing a value capture strategy:
- Learn about behaviors and disciplines that deliver profitable outcomes.
- Understand common risks and pitfalls that limit results.
- Leverage best-in-class examples of price optimization success.
- Discover hidden opportunities in cost-to-serve and other areas of the business.
