Expert Speaker
Topic: Driving Profitability Through Strategic Pricing

You will discover:

In this engaging and highly interactive session, Doug Butdorf guides participants on how to improve pricing, increase profits, and grow sales. Through real-world stories and hands-on exercises, he delivers powerful content in an entertaining format.

 Key Topics:

  • The Power of Pricing & Discounting: Learn how pricing directly impacts profitability and how unnecessary discounting—often driven by fear—can be reduced to unlock double-digit profit growth.

  • Price Sensitivity & Segmentation: Not all customers or products are equally price sensitive. Discover how to target pricing increases in low-sensitivity areas without losing volume—even in competitive industries.

  • Value-Based Pricing: Sellers often focus more on price than buyers do. By understanding and communicating effectively, businesses can raise prices and boost sales
