Recommendation

Many companies don’t realize how much more profitable they could become through creative pricing. Even just a single percentage-point price increase can make a big difference to your bottom line: McKinsey & Company found that a 1% uptick in prices translates to an average 11% rise in operating profits. Pricing expert Rafi Mohammed shows you how to maximize your gains with “value-based pricing” and how to implement a range of pricing strategies and tactics to attract new customers and keep current clients buying. Although the prose can be dry at times, this manual provides crucial points to consider. getAbstract recommends it to those who set their products’ prices, including CEOs, CFOs, managers, entrepreneurs and marketers.

Take-Aways

  • Implementing even a 1% price increase could substantially boost your company’s profits.
  • Set your prices based on how much customers are willing to pay for your products, not on what it costs to produce them.
  • To derive “value-based pricing” – which reflects what shoppers are willing to pay for your goods rather than what they cost to produce – show how your product is distinctive.
