Comprehensive course analysis
Who should attend
Pricing Strategies is essential for:
- Executives charged with ensuring overall company profitability

- Entrepreneurs who are working to develop a business model and calculate the value of their product or service
About the course
Studies show that pricing is the most critical profit driver in business, but it is also one of the least understood. Many executives with pricing responsibilities rely on instinct or a simple cost-plus model to set prices, ignoring the complexities inherent in price strategies — and they fail to capture maximum value.
Pricing Strategies: Measuring, Capturing, and Retaining Value is the price strategy program that will change the way you think about pricing. It demonstrates step-by-step processes for developing various strategies and how these approaches can be applied to specific business challenges. It gives participants the confidence to choose the right pricing strategy (and not the one “right price”) and make a strong case for their decision within the organization.
