THE PRICING GAME – HOW TO EFFECTIVELY CHANGE YOUR PRICING WITHOUT LOOSING CUSTOMERS.
9am – 10am, Tuesday, August 31
Pricing can boost profits far more than increasing sales or cutting costs. And the results of a smarter pricing strategy can fall to the bottom line very quickly. Yet at least half of all companies leave money on the table because they don’t charge the right price or make sure customers actually pay it. In this session, operators will be shown the critical steps you can take to boost your pricing power. There are many examples where price changes go horribly wrong. There is a right way and there is a wrong way to approach pricing with your customers. This session will arm you with the best strategies from a top expert.
