Winning the Profit Game

How to use pricing as a strategic tool to increase revenues and win the war for profit One of the greatest pitfalls in the war for profits is corporate strategists' lack of a practical understanding of the link between overall revenues and overall costs. In Winning the Profit Game, the thought leaders at A. T. Kearney unveil a revolutionary new approach to establishing clear, strategic links between the top and bottom lines. No dry academic treatise, Winning the Profit Game is a guide to growing profits, in boom times and bust, using smart top-line strategies that optimize price, costs, customer behavior, and volumes. The authors clearly lay out the basic principles involved and also include: Proven strategies for transforming added value into revenues and winning the war for profits Prescriptive frameworks for putting the principles and strategies into action, immediately Numerous success stories based on experiences of A. T. Kearney clients worldwide

In the endless quest to boost your bottom line, you've done it all: re-engineering, downsizing, new purchasing strategies, TQM, CRM, automation, new sales channels and technologies. Problem is, everyone else has done it, too. And while these once-innovative techniques may still be helping your organization to hold its own, they are long past delivering the impact, excitement, and competitive advantage they initially offered. Smart managers and smart companies are already asking, what's next? How do we stay ahead? In Winning the Profit Game, the authors offer a simple but powerful solution--to keep improving the bottom line, your organization must now shift its sights and focus on growing the top line.

This means that anyone who takes the time to learn how to use them correctly can quickly establish a huge competitive advantage. This comprehensive guide to maximizing profits offers sophisticated yet common-sense approaches that turn value into money and make pricing a logical, high-return activity, integral to the development of new products and services. It illustrates the absolute link between brand and price and explains why a superior pricing strategy cannot exist without a detailed brand strategy.

Re-engineering, downsizing TQM, CRM - you’ve seen them all. But businesses are still trying to find ways to lead their markets and beat their competition. The authors of this book suggest that pricing deserves the kind of attention that, a decade ago, your organization lavished upon procurement. They believe pricing strategy will be the important competitive differentiator in times to come. That is certainly plausible, and this book offers extensive guidance on how, when, why and according to what guiding principles businesses should change prices. Its copy editors should have been more diligent, because spelling and grammatical errors abound, but the book is nonetheless surprisingly readable. The book makes some valuable points, and getAbstract.com believes it merits marketing officers’ scrutiny.
