Pricing Strategies A Complete Guide
You're under pressure. Your product is solid, your team is skilled, but something’s missing. Margins are thin, competition is aggressive, and leadership keeps asking: “Why aren’t we winning on price?” You know pricing isn’t just numbers - it’s strategy, psychology, and positioning. But without a proven framework, you're left guessing. That uncertainty doesn’t just hurt revenue. It undermines your confidence, your credibility, and your career momentum. You’re not alone. Most professionals wing it when it comes to pricing, relying on markups, gut instinct, or outdated cost-plus models. The result? Lost deals, eroded profitability, and missed promotions. But what if you could turn pricing into your strongest competitive advantage - a lever you pull with precision, backed by data, frameworks, and real-world validation? Pricing Strategies A Complete Guide is your blueprint for doing exactly that. This is not theory. It’s a step-by-step system designed to take you from uncertain and reactive to confident, strategic, and results-driven - moving from vague pricing discussions to delivering a fully justified, board-ready pricing model in just 30 days. One professional, a senior product manager at a SaaS company, used this methodology to redesign their pricing tiers. Within 8 weeks, they increased average contract value by 37% and reduced customer churn by 14%. No sales push. No discounting. Just smarter pricing. Now they lead pricing initiatives across the entire product portfolio - and have been fast-tracked for promotion. This course doesn’t just teach pricing. It equips you with the tools, credibility, and documentation to influence decisions at the highest level. You’ll walk away with a polished, actionable pricing strategy document - the kind that gets attention, wins buy-in, and demonstrates measurable impact. Whether you’re in product management, marketing, finance, or consulting, mastering pricing is one of the fastest paths to visibility, influence, and value creation. The market rewards those who know how to price - not just compete. Here’s how this course is structured to help you get there.Course Format & Delivery Details Designed for Real Professionals with Real Responsibilities
