Webinar 28-March - Optimizing International Market Launches Through Pricing Insights | PriceBeam
This webinar looks at how pricing should play an integral role in international market launches and how willingness-to-pay research can help optimize the prices in each market.
Imagine a US company wanting to export to Germany: should the German price be just the USD price converted into Euros? It could, but it is likely that German customers have a different willingness-to-pay than US customers, and thus a straight conversion would either lead to a price that is too high, or possibly too low. Both cases lead to loss of profits. So by how much should the price vary when launching there? Price research can tell you, so you don’t have to guess.
While old-fashioned market research would have taken months and cost a small fortune, PriceBeam’s cloud-based willingness-to-pay solution changes all that. Not only can it deliver results in just a few days, but it is also very cost effective as it runs via the cloud. Furthermore, PriceBeam’s price research is available in 109 countries world-wide.

Value-Based Pricing& the Quantification of Differentiation Value | Stephan Liozu Workshop at PPS Spring Conference
More firms and their pricing leaders are adopting value-based pricing every year. Research shows increased adoption of this progressive pricing orientation moving from 17% in 2008 to about 25-30% in 2018. Part of the deployment process of value-based pricing is the implementation of the Economic Value Estimation (EVE®) process to quantify differentiation value before it can be communicated to customers and capture from them. While adoption of value-based pricing is increasing, pricing professionals still face difficulties across their organizations. In fact, the EVE® process can be fairly mechanical and, with proper training, can be understood fairly rapidly. The challenge remains therefore what to do with the value models and calculated data.
In this unique workshop, we review the latest science on value-based pricing and the EVE® process. We also review how to operationalize the outcome in value-based innovation, value-based marketing and value-based selling strategies.
ATTENDEES WILL LEARN
- How to operationalize value-based pricing and EVE® in your day-to-day business
- How to practically link value-based pricing with innovation, marketing, and selling
- How to respond to challenges in deploying the EVE® and value quantification process
