Pricing Optimization

Overview

The issue of margin erosion will never end if distributors do not innovate both their pricing methods and their value proposition. Issues involving pricing methods are highly critical to profitability and therefore should be addressed promptly in order to safeguard success. For many distributors, pricing decisions are delegated to individual salespeople to allow for flexibility, but the resulting inconsistency in pricing decisions will result in greater disorganization and inefficiency. The solution to this dilemma lies in “complexity management”—providing consistency and structure with simple and easily manageable variables.
