Price Increase Execution

Price increases are very effective at boosting top line growth and profitability, however, ill executed price increases can alienate customers and force the business into a reactive and damage control mode resulting in lower realization rates. Knowing how to structure and execute price increases requires a targeted approach with a well planned communication strategy to ensure the highest rates of price realization possible. Did your last price increase actually stick? If yes, great job. If not, it may be time to consider a new approach. ​

Challenge
  • The company was struggling to implement price increases to customers  that would enable them to pass through some of the cost increases they were experiencing in the business
  • The company wanted to take a more surgical approach to price increase by prioritizing key product lines with smaller or bigger price increases depending on the account strategy for each customer.
  • They also realize the importance of putting a more robust process in place to anticipate customer push back and be able to respond in a confident manner.
Solution
  • Measured and demonstrated the negative impact that the inability to pass on price increases is having on the business.  
  • Developed an action plan with each sales rep on how to approach the price increase.

  • Trained the sales team though role play exercises so they could get more comfortable with the process.  
  • Implemented price increase campaign and stuck to our guns.  We could not back down now or your customers wouldn't take us seriously.
