Author: John L. Daly

Pricing professionals have long debated the importance of understanding value versus cost. This seminar will show you why BOTH are important and why choosing only a single pricing tool will leave a company exposed to frequent pricing mistakes.

Companies typically make their pricing mistakes on four types of products. This seminar will acquaint you with a variety of pricing skills that will help make your company the “smart” competitor in any pricing situation.

Topics Discussed

  • Know why strategy development comes first
  • Understand why choosing a single pricing technique can mean disaster
  • Understand your customer value proposition
  • Understand why companies miss-price products that are not “average”
  • Create a competitive advantage through superior product cost knowledge
  • Avoid being the “dumb” competitor
  • Understand pricing ethics and law
  • Develop effective quoting models
  • Know why the company with the best cost information wins!

Cases and Group Discussion
This seminar includes several cases for group discussion.

Target Audience
We designed this seminar for finance, marketing and engineering managers to attend together, intellectually challenging each group while ensuring that all parties have a thorough understanding. We suggest financial managers also attend Know Your Cost.
