Pricing Strategy
Develop a value-driven pricing strategy based on customer benefits that are supported by compelling evidence and offer a reasonable return on investment.
WHAT WE DO
Challenges we solve
Communicating value
Pricing strategies can trigger emotional reactions from customers and the media if you don’t communicate value effectively. How can you establish pricing and communication strategies that affirm the value of your products?
Providing credible evidence
Decision makers require compelling evidence to help justify your offering’s value. How do you avoid research bias and communicate evidence-based value in a way that resonates with key stakeholders?
Fighting negative perceptions
Developing the right price for a product or service that’s considered essential can be difficult. How do you build a pricing strategy that customers consider fair but that provides a reasonable return on investment?
Meeting stakeholder needs
In life sciences, the “dinner for three” purchase process, in which buyer, payer and consumer are distinct, complicates pricing even further. How can you understand and address the value drivers of each stakeholder?
