Maximizing Gains & Adapting to Change

Digital Platforms are Driving Sales & Coverage Realignment

The banking industry faces enormous change in the age of digitization. These technologies have helped them evolve and innovate exponentially, creating a high potential for gains for B2B bank relationships and retail banking.

Digital platforms facilitate faster sales cycle times and drive coverage realignments for customer-facing roles. However, coverage models now include new virtual client and prospect interactions. As a result, performance expectations, goals and traditional incentive plans that drive these new required behaviors must be intelligently modified.

Alexander Group helps financial Industry clients develop the strategy, structure and sales organizations that drive growth and align with business objectives.

    Session 3 | Cost-Plus Pricing: Stop Leaving Money on the Table

    Intuitively, using cost-plus to set pricing would allow organizations to keep pace with inflation and ensure long-term financial viability. Yet, more than half of B2B organizations failed to keep pace with inflation in this past year. In this webinar, Avy Punwasee of Revenue Management Labs and Kyle Uebelhor of Alexander Group will outline how using value-based pricing in place of cost-plus is essential to commercial success.

    Key Takeaways:
    – Cost-based pricing versus value-based pricing
    – Unlocking customer value and willingness to pay
    – Understand the competitive landscape and how that will impact pricing decisions
    – Determining the true financial value of your offering
    – Change management considerations when migrating to a value-based approach
