Smart Pricing

Your price is the single most powerful communication you have with your customers. It is one of the most powerful tools available to improve profitability. And it can be the key to energizing your organization. Yet many businesses set prices without a good system. And with poor pricing, earnings simply evaporate. In the best case, foregone earnings go unnoticed. In the worst case, pricing mistakes are devastating. They ruin the value of your brand. They sap the strength of your people. Earnings get hammered. And the consequences drag out for years.

At Market Leaders Group, we bring science to the art of pricing. We know what questions to ask. We know how to identify and evaluate your options. Using the SmartPricing™ Process, we help business leaders like you wield the power of price and judiciously apply it. Very simply, through SmartPricing™ we help business leaders increase returns for shareholders and reduce business risk.

Strategy & Implementation

If your objective is to develop and implement a market driven strategy where potential solutions are controversial, e.g. redirecting the sales force, transitioning to e-business, or implementing price changes, then MLG consulting services may be your best choice. In the fast paced e-conomy, windows of opportunity are smaller than ever. MLG's Transformational Marketing™ approach integrates strategy development and implementation to assure plans can be operationalized in the real world. Strategy isn't worth the memory it's written in if it isn't implemented.

Improving Strategic and Financial Performance

There are many opportunities to improve both strategic and financial performance through pricing initiatives. Here are a few:

1. Identify the profit maximizing price structure and strategy for new product or service launch.
2. Maintain a profit maximizing price structure and strategy across the product class life cycle and through the technology adoption cycle.
3. Utilize segmentation, bundling and price positioning strategies to differentiate offerings for target markets, simultaneously maximizing value received by the customer and price capture by the firm.
4. Implement pricing strategies to achieve business objectives despite implementation hurdles, e.g. channel complexity and conflicts.
5. Use strategic pricing to optimize the market and financial performance of a business strategy.
6. Estimate profit opportunities and risks associated with a change in pricing strategy and structure.
