EVIDENCE
OUR RESEARCH
Our findings show that with the right strategy, set up and pricing team in place, incremental earnings gains can begin to occur in less than 12 weeks. After 3 months, the team can capture at least 1.0 to 3.25 per cent more margin using better price management processes. After 6-12 months, businesses are very often generating between 3 to 10 per cent additional margin each year as they identify more complex and previously unrealised opportunities, efficiencies and risks.
