This session will be dedicated to the possibility that pricing should be developed in a business as a core competency. Creating a pricing strategy is hard work and not for everyone. It requires us to think differently than we have in the past. We must expand our view of pricing from something that is done tactically to land a customer to a broader more strategic concept. This session will help you open a dialogue on pricing strategy.
