Unser Newsletter Nr. 42 kann nun auch in englischer Sprache gelesen werden. Worum geht es darin?

Unternehmen im B2B-Sektor scheitern oft bei der Suche nach nützlichen Berichten über die Entwicklung der Marktpreise. Gerade im mittelständischen Bereich laufen sie ins Leere, weil es keine umfassenden Berichte von Marktforschungsinstituten gibt. Umfangreiche Marktstudien erweisen sich hier nicht als kosteneffizient, da die Märkte in der Regel kleiner und stark segmentiert sind. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, ob Sie nicht Ihr eigenes Vertriebsteam für die Markt- und Preisforschung einsetzen könnten. Dieser Newsletter geht der Sache auf den Grund und gibt Ihnen Antworten.

Pricing-Newsletter No. 42 (2020): Can the Sales Team Be Utilized for Pricing Research?

When companies seek to understand how market prices are evolving, they can often rely on comprehensive reports from market research institutes, especially in the B2C sector, particularly in cases where substantial marketing budgets of international corporations are being planned based on clear market analyses. In the medium-sized sector the situation is different, especially in the realm of B2B. Extensive market studies do not prove cost-effective here because markets tend to be smaller and highly segmented. In the absence of external studies, it’s essential to explore alternatives. Why not harness your own sales team for market and pricing research? This is the subject of today’s newsletter.

I hope you will have an interesting reading.
