Use PriceAnalyzer to Get the Most out of Your Pricing Data

If you’re in the pricing industry, you’ve probably heard it mentioned multiple times over how a 1% increase in price yields an 8.7% increase in profits. Such an increase is definitely something that any company would leap at the opportunity to gain. However, the journey to get there is not straight forward.

To get astronomical increases in profits, you first must convince the sales team to adopt a method of increasing prices, not a volume to reach their and the company’s goals. If you happen to make that hard sell, then you have to turn to your data. Unfortunately, if your company is like a lot of others, data that relates to pricing can sit in multiple data centers and departments. What’s worse is that the sheer amount of data requires cleaning. This requires that you:

• clear out irrelevant and incorrect data
• find gaps in data so that your pricing methodology remains relevant
• organize the data so that it makes sense visually

/As a savvy pricing professional, you know that you’d like to be in part responsible for your organization reaching a historical increase in profits, but the problems outlined above make it hard to take the first step. After all, pricing projects can be expensive and sometimes take years to implement. The risk might be too great.
