TWO SESSIONS

What is the right price for a new-to-the-world revolutionary
product? Unlike evolutionary products in which comparable products
exists, customers understand the value of the product, and companies
have a track-record of price points and volumes sold, revolutionary
products enter a near informational void in price setting.
In Pricing with Exchange Value Models, Tim will provide
an approachable overview of the leading method to pricing revolutionary,
new-to-the-world products.
Learning Objectives
- How to construct an exchange value model
- The role of substitutes and competitors in
limiting pricing latitude
- The difference in pricing behaviors between
entrepreneurs and corporations
Speaker: Tim Smith, PhD, Managing Principal of Wiglaf
Pricing, Adjunct Professor at DePaul University

Price promotions, meet the competition, tactical price
cuts. You name it. Discounts are a daily challenge. While marketing
managers use discounts to take share and sales executives “need”
them to win clients, pricing professionals often find themselves
stuck being the gatekeeper to stave off profit hemorrhaging discounts.
How should an executive address the daily challenge of discounting?
Are all discounts bad?
In this session, Tim will explore the role of discounts
within the firm, the three commonly used tools for analyzing discount
practices, and the four commonly used tools executives have to restrain
them.
Learning Objectives
- How discounting can simultaneously lower
market entrance prices, increase volumes, and improve profitability
- Methods for measuring and monitoring discounting
policy
- Managerial tools for restraining discounts
