As inflationary cost pressures continue to subside in 2024, companies will need to adjust their pricing strategy to be "defense-oriented." As procurement teams ramp up pressure and clamor for concessions, companies will need to ensure they have instilled a culture of value selling and negotiation excellence within their salesforce. Without these skillsets a potential nightmare scenario could occur: losing business entirely like PepsiCo is facing in some European markets. #pricingstrategy #pricing #priceoptimization #priceincrease #simonkucher https://lnkd.in/eHCQ_DNq
