Why implement new pricing strategies? And why even think about investing in a new pricing software? What is the purpose? Let’s be honest, it is quite simple. The purpose is to generate more profit. Period.
Sure, there are other important reasons too. For example, we all know how overpricing can hurt the long-term brand value and customer loyalty. That matters also. But without that pure financial gain, which is found through avoiding setting prices too low, it would be difficult to justify spending resources on implementing new pricing strategies.
The key question, then, is: How large a financial gain could you harvest from your aftermarket? How do you find and implement it? And how can you make that new profit level sustainable over time?
In this article, I will share my thoughts on how to answer these questions. My intention is to share what I have seen and learned during the last ten years as a pricer, a reflection of my own experience of implementing smart aftermarket pricing for multiple B2B and B2B2C companies over the years.
