Getting pricing right, and by that I mean such that the bottom-line is optimised, is extremely difficult, certainly at scale. Large companies invest material sums in management information systems, research and data analysts to ensure they get this right. Smaller companies simply don’t have such skilled resource. As the single lever with the greatest impact on the bottom-line, pricing should receive a disproportionate amount of management’s time, but this is unlikely to be the case. It warrants a sophistictaed approach with consideration of macro, market and internal company factors, such as cost base and sales processes. If establishing or reviewing pricing strucutres is quick, is considered in isolation, or feels easy, there will be value being ‘left on the table’ by the company somewhere. And in respect of the psychology of pricing, the psychology of the person responsible for selling and/or pricing is as important as the psychology of the buyer.
