Holistrat, independent pricing consultant

A bad management of your sales prices can have serious consequences. A price too low and your profitability drops, a price too high and your customers will leave. Many companies use the "Cost +" (margin coefficient on the production costs) as a "strategy" to determine their prices. They put pressure on their cost management only. In view of the different market evolutions (raw materials, inflation, competition...), this method is nowadays unsuitable and obsolete.

Let's work together to develop the best pricing strategy, according to the evolution of the market and your sector.

What is pricing?

Pricing is the term used to describe all the methodologies that determine the price of a product or service. Pricing strategy is an integral part of the marketing mix and the 4Ps (place, product, price, promotion).

Do you work in the industry or retail sector?

With 3 years of experience in pricing in the industrial sector (especially in spare parts and aftermarket) and in retail, I will be able to guide you in your various strategic decisions or operational missions.

THE TWO TYPES OF SERVICES I OFFER

Strategic advice:

Following an audit of your pricing environment, and a diagnosis based on your data, I advise you on the strategies and methods to implement in the management of your prices and your business. These advices and recommendations are adapted to your human and material means, with a global vision.

Operational pricing (tactical):

I join your team to apply the recommendations of the pricing strategy that you will have determined upstream. In any case, I will be happy to bring you a solution that fits your needs.

THE RESULTS OF AN EFFICIENT PRICING POLICY

A pricing consultant will allow you to :

Clarify the business vision

Concrete visualization of the business to identify your opportunity segments.

Improve your profitability

Regardless of costs, by using the sales price lever, you intrinsically increase your profits and profitability.

Gain new pricing methodologies and knowledge

With the help of adapted tools and methods, better manage your prices and your business.

Increase your revenue

A pricing project has a minimum impact of +2% on the turnover in the 4 to 6 months following its execution

Better segment and classify your product, customer and supplier portfolios

Optimize and streamline the communication between your company's internal departments and save time in your internal processes.

Define the range of a price and its pricing threshold

Give your sales representatives a precise negotiation range. Avoid selling with a negative margin (at a loss) or at a price that is out of line with the market.

Determine the price sensitivity of a product

This allows you to adapt your prices without losing volumes or margins.

Improve your brand image with your customers

A coherent offer adapted to the market reality will always satisfy your customers.

THE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF BAD PRICING

Prices that are too low or too high, compared to the reality of the market or your strategy, automatically lead to a loss of volume or revenue. Beyond this loss, you risk altering your image and your credibility with your targeted customers.

For example, by choosing a low price policy, you will attract a clientele that prioritizes price over quality. When you decide to move upmarket, you will lose this clientele, but above all it will be very difficult to change your "low cost" image with your new targets.

An inappropriate positioning has not only direct financial consequences, but also an influence on the perceived value of your brand image. It is therefore essential to determine a coherent price from the start.
