WHAT PRICING INITIATIVIES CAN BE USED TO ADRESS THE POTENTIAL?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nOne area that often has untapped potential is price adjustments on <b>existing customer base. <\/b>There are several different types of price initiatives, where the common denominator is to have a clear rational for the customer in combination with right timing. This is exemplified below:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Transition to a new commercial model like subscription at upgrade \/ renewal \/ up sale<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Revision beyond Inflation \/ index as result of increased delivery and \/ or production costs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Revision of commercial terms where your products or services are enhanced and deliver higher value for the customer<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Reduction of historical discounts at call-offs or renewals with rational linked to market and product changes or harmonization per segment<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Discount reductions if the actual volumes the customer purchased are lower than agreed, where the rational is that the commercial terms for the discount are not fulfilled<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWhen looking at initiatives for <b>new sales <\/b>it is important that the company gathers insights to understand what price level is optimal for each situation. Companies that get most out of optimizing new sales pricing are characterized by:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Strong analytical ability, where patterns between price, packaging and demand in different segments can be identified<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Clear understanding of price elasticity in the market, and ability to differentiate prices based on product value and willingness to pay in different customer segments. Leverage customer insights, the customers often sit on the answers to what they value most<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Seeing pricing as something other than just a one-off, working continuously with a\/b tests, business intelligence, etc. to ensure optimal pricing at any point in time<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Using discounts that do not erode long term profitability, but instead strengthen competitiveness at point of sales, e.g. offering one quarter for free instead of lowering the monthly fee<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"],"_modules-below-content_7_text-block-description":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block_text-block-description"],"modules-below-content_7_text-block-buttons":[""],"_modules-below-content_7_text-block-buttons":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block_text-block-buttons"],"modules-below-content_8_template":["text-block\/image-background"],"_modules-below-content_8_template":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block-template"],"modules-below-content_8_text-block-title":[""],"_modules-below-content_8_text-block-title":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block_text-block-title"],"modules-below-content_8_text-block-image":["1415"],"_modules-below-content_8_text-block-image":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block_text-block-image"],"modules-below-content_8_text-block-image-overlay":["1"],"_modules-below-content_8_text-block-image-overlay":["group_page_modules_below-content_text-block_text-block-image-overlay"],"modules-below-content_8_text-block-description":["<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Axholmen has 14 years experience from commercial optimization within B2B, B2C and B2G in EMEA, North America and APAC.
