Pricing has a greater impact on profitability than any other lever, yet many firms lack confidence in their pricing strategy. This workshop provides a comprehensive framework for assessing your firm’s approach to pricing. The workshop is illuminated with numerous case studies and encourages participants to identify opportunities to drive revenue and profit growth within their firm.
Never before has the pricing of professional services received so much attention. Most clients have significantly evolved their approach to purchasing professional services and are demanding more from firms – for less. More than ever before, firms are being required to justify their price. Failure to do so results in price erosion or the loss of business.
Professional service firms must develop their pricing competence in order to effectively deal with these increasing client pressures.
