Description

This intensive, hands-on training equips entrepreneurs, business owners, and pricing decision-makers with the tools and frameworks needed to set the right price profitably and strategically. Unlike traditional academic modules, this course is built around practical application: each participant develops a personalized pricing strategy for their own product, service, or business case.

 

Throughout the training, you will gain a deep understanding of how pricing decisions impact business performance, customer perception, and competitive positioning. The course integrates real-world exercises, practical models, and marketing metrics to help you take action immediately.

Day 1: Setting Your Maximum Price: Value-Based Pricing

Every price ceiling starts with one question: what is a customer genuinely willing to pay? Day 1 dismantles the myth of the "rational buyer" and shows you how to calculate the Total Economic Value (TEV) of your offering - the true monetary and psychological ceiling of your price.

 

You will learn to:

  • Apply the Three Levels of Price Management (market strategy, customer value, transactions) to structure your pricing decisions

  • Use the Rational Buyer Model — and understand the real-world psychological deviations from it (reference prices, framing, percentage vs. absolute savings)

  • Break down Economic Value into Reference Value and Differentiation Value (monetary and psychological)

  • Build and read a Value-Pricing Thermometer to visualize Total Economic Value, Perceived Value, Price, and Break-Even Price side by side

  • Quantify willingness-to-pay differences across customer segments using a live case (industrial equipment pricing)

  • Estimate the price impact of adding or removing product features using a guided regression/conjoint-style exercise

 

Format: interactive situational analyses, worked numerical cases, and a feature-value calculation exercise.

Day 2: Setting Your Minimum Price: Cost-Based Pricing

If Day 1 sets your ceiling, Day 2 sets your floor. You cannot price strategically without knowing, precisely, the lowest price at which your business remains viable. Day 2 walks through building a defensible cost structure and break-even price from the ground up.

 

You will learn to:

  • Compare pricing orientations: cost-based, competitor-based, and value-based approaches, and when each applies

  • Allocate direct and overhead costs per unit using multiple allocation methods, and see how the choice of method changes your cost baseline

  • Factor in Economies of Scale and the Learning/Experience Curve when projecting future costs

  • Set a profit margin and calculate cost-plus (mark-up) pricing step by step

  • Perform Break-Even Analysis, including the graphical break-even point and its relationship to price elasticity

  • Apply Target (Profit) Return Pricing and Product-Range Break-Even Analysis to multi-product businesses

 

Format: step-by-step costing exercises with worked answer sheets.

Day 3: Reading the Market: Context, Positioning and Pricing Tactics

A price is never set in a vacuum. Day 3 brings together everything above your break-even floor and below your value ceiling: the macro and micro forces, competitive positioning, and market conditions that determine where the "right" price actually sits and the tactical tools to defend it once it's set.

 

You will learn to:

  • Apply the 7-Step Pricing Skeleton: from reading macro/micro environmental forces, to competitor- and value-based anchoring, to reacting to market change

  • Diagnose your competitive positioning using the Value Equivalency Line and Porter-based strategic archetypes (cost leadership vs. differentiation)

  • Score the nine key context variables that pull price up or down: positioning, product differentiation, production capacity, cost structure, price elasticity, demand/supply balance, market concentration (Herfindahl Index, concentration ratio), product life-cycle stage, and customer attitude toward price

  • Convert a weighted scorecard of these variables into a defensible suggested list price

  • Use the Pocket Price Waterfall to see your true "pocket price" after all off-invoice discounts, rebates, and allowances

  • Calculate the minimum break-even sales volume change needed to justify a price increase or decrease

 

Format: scoring-model workshop, waterfall-pricing exercise, and a break-even sales-change calculation.

Day 4: Pricing and Monetization of Innovation

New products and services fail commercially far more often from mispriced monetization than from bad ideas. Day 4 is dedicated to pricing innovation: avoiding the four classic monetization failure patterns and building a complete pricing strategy for a new offering.

 

You will learn to:

  • Recognize and avoid the Four Failures of New Product Monetization: Feature Shock, Minivation, Hidden Gem, and Undead

  • Follow the full innovation-pricing sequence: uncovering Willingness to Pay, segmenting the innovation, configuring and bundling the product, choosing a monetization model, setting pricing strategy, communicating value, and preparing for post-launch

  • Apply multiple methods for uncovering Willingness to Pay, including purchase-intent surveys and structured interviews

  • Use the Leader/Filler/Killer framework and Good-Better-Best (G/B/B) principles to configure and bundle your offering

  • Evaluate five monetization models — subscription, dynamic pricing, freemium, market-based (auction), and pay-per-use — and choose the right one for your business

  • Build a pricing strategy document covering goals, strategy type (maximization, penetration, or skimming), price-setting principles, and competitor-reaction principles

  • Apply six proven behavioral pricing tactics (compromise effect, anchoring, price-as-quality-signal, pennies-a-day framing, razor/razor-blade pricing, and psychological price thresholds)

 

Format: case comparisons, a pricing-strategy document workshop, and a live pricing challenge exercise.

Day 5: Value Maps and Competitive Positioning

Pricing decisions don't end at launch — markets shift, competitors react, and your position on the map changes whether you plan for it or not. Day 5 equips you with the value-mapping tools used to track, defend, and deliberately move your competitive position over time.

 

You will learn to:

  • Build and interpret a Value Map, and identify your position relative to the Value Equivalence Line (VEL)

  • Understand the Zone of Indifference and why prices can move within a range without affecting sales

  • Compare Conjoint Analysis and Discrete Choice Modeling as tools for quantifying customer trade-offs

  • Classify the benefits you deliver into Functional, Process, and Relationship value — and map company vs. customer perceptions

  • Apply Dynamic Value Management: how competitors react when you move on or off the VEL, and how far to move

  • Work through real company cases (technology and industrial equipment) showing how value-map repositioning reshaped market share

  • Use the Price/Value grid and Bowman's Strategy Clock to diagnose and choose among eight competitive positioning strategies, from Low Price to Focused Differentiation

 

Format: value-map construction workshop and applied competitive-positioning cases.
