About the course.

The right pricing creates the conditions for increased sales and higher profitability. But even though price has the greatest leverage on profitability, it is the parameter most companies work on the least. During this course you will learn how price affects sales volumes and profitability. We go through pricing theory, behavioural economics aspects of how customers make price decisions and how to set the right prices yourself.

Most companies set their prices based on costs, gut feeling or simple models instead of developing a deeper understanding of pricing and its effect on customers and competitors. Many companies also have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between price, sales volumes and cost. Surveys show that as many as 80 percent do not know how they generate their profitability (EPP price maturity report 2019). With increased complexity and more sales channels, both physical and digital, comes an increased need to have the right price in the right business situation.
