MRD WEBINAR SERIES
RECORDED WEBINAR SERIES
FIRST WEBINAR VIDEO
TOPIC: Value Leakage Identification & Business Diagnostics
DATE: April 17th
ISSUE: Typically, we see that in B2B companies are closing nearly all deals, their entire business, based on face to face negotiations. A lower degree of commercial control is a symptom of value leakage.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Reviewing the performance of the pricing organization using a structured framework
- Drawing analysis on order quantity, order frequency, and returns can show the leakage due to customer order behavior
- A Pareto based segmentation model is quantitively calculated (based on margin, revenues or volume)
- MRD’s Proprietary Frontline Profitability Methodology combines theoretical pricing frameworks with analytics to craft a customized value recovery and pricing excellence roadmap.
SECOND WEBINAR VIDEO
TOPIC: Value Recovery Initiatives & Methodologies
DATE: April 24th
ISSUE: Pricing managers fail to look at quantitative variables for computation, as a result of uncontrolled discounting which is visible in the form of excessive price variability.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Optimize revenue on each deal by extracting customer willingness to pay and by controlling unstructured discounting
- Reduced negotiation preparation time by eliminating the need for manual calculations
- Returns on pricing projects have a very high ROI
- Reducing customer churn & improving acquisition performance, with the least amount of penalty on margin, some advanced simulation, scenario analysis, and model steering techniques were built upon the existing dynamic pricing algorithms
