Friday, 14 October 2016 9AM - 4PM
Going Beyond Pricing: Driving Organic Growth Through Commercial Excellence
As global and regional markets become more integrated
with diminishing barriers to entry and growing product
commoditization, B2B companies are faced with an urgency to
re-evaluate their growth strategies – either via expanding their
business inorganic through mergers and acquisitions, or taking a
conservative approach by way of organic growth.
When choosing the latter, there is often a trade-off between
market share and value, and pricing becomes the quick fix
to yield short-term gains. The common shotgun approach
companies take to grow revenue aggressively is focused on
serving all customers in equal terms without taking into account
the premise of value. Deep discounts is often the chosen strategy
leading to erosion of the average price per unit and diminishing
margins, at the expense of dislodging product portfolio
positioning and brand value.
Commercial excellence is about having an explicit understanding
of the company’s target segments and its customers, and getting
acquainted with their different needs and value expectations. In
the process, the company needs to align key internal functions
and resources contributing to overall value creation for the
customer and business. This discipline generally encompasses
customer segmentation, channel selection and management,
pricing and profitability management, sales force effectiveness,
results measurement, and reporting.
The learning from this workshop is intended to be functional
- providing a balanced perspective between theory and
practical application. On the completion of this masterclass,
the participant will learn the fundamentals about commercial
excellence, how different component interacts to create and
deliver value, ultimately creating pricing excellence.
KEY TOPICS COVERED:
What is ‘Commercial Excellence’ and its importance in today’s
business?
What are the key components of a commercial excellence
system, and how can value be created?
Differentiating between your customer’s value expectations,
and your organization’s value proposition
The importance of processes, tools, big data, and analytics in
commercial excellence
Getting started on your journey: the importance of change
management and cross-functional communication in
achieving commercial excellence
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This workshop is designed for CXOs, Directors, Divisional
/ Business Unit Heads and Senior Managers with direct
involvement or cross-functional support in the areas of
commercial operations, sales and marketing, finance and
controlling, product management, channel management,
