Practical Price Sensitivity
Simpler Ways to Leverage Sensitivity That Deliver Profitable Results
Thursday, August 21, 2025
10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern / 7 PM CET
Intuitively, we all know that different customers react differently to price, depending on the circumstances. And leveraging these differences is how B2B pricing teams boost profitability without undue risk to revenue. But while the concept of relative price sensitivity is somewhat easy to grasp, estimating and applying it in the real world can often seem too complicated or time-consuming to be useful. So…are there simpler ways to leverage this powerful concept that can still produce solid results?
In this subscriber-only webinar, you will learn about:
- Straightforward ways to assess relative price sensitivity across segments and circumstances.
- Integrating price sensitivity insights into your pricing systems, processes, and deal workflows.
- Setting realistic expectations and dealing with others’ skepticism, objections, and doubts.
- Effective ways to incorporate the sales team’s knowledge and experience into the process.
