In the two-day intensive seminar, the 4 levers to increase the pricing competence of companies are taught. These levers are not only explained theoretically, but are applied using practical examples from the participants’ everyday work. Participants are advised to bring specific pricing issues from their own work area into the seminar to work on them there.

Seminar goals

Using the 4 levers to increase pricing competence, seminar participants learn:

/in /by

Pricing is the most important profit lever in a company. Why is it that this aspect is still underestimated in so many companies? These and other topic-specific questions are addressed by marketing and pricing expert Prof. Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof in the lecture “Why strategic pricing is neglected in many companies” on November 15 at the AGA Northern German Business Association Wholesale – Foreign Trade – Service e.V. in Hamburg.

Other topics:

  • Pricing must be cross-departmental and therefore becomes complicated – how do you manage the complexity?
  • Pricing requires research – how to avoid endless debates about the “right” price?
  • Pricing strategies require consistency in implementation – how to develop clear pricing roadmaps for individual business areas?
  • Pricing strategies must be measured – what contribution do pricing scorecards make?

A discussion round is planned after the lecture.

Professor Riekhof teaches International Marketing at the Private University of Göttingen. For 15 years, he has been conducting empirical studies on pricing and advises international corporations as well as medium-sized companies on the review of their pricing strategy, the optimization of pricing processes and the introduction of efficient price controlling. Previously, he was responsible for pricing topics as a marketing director in the Otto Group and as a business unit manager in Beiersdorf AG.

The topic “Strategic Pricing – Value creation through intelligent pricing strategies” is the focus of the lecture by Professor Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof, to which the Business Club Hamburg invites to the Hanseatic city on Wednesday, April 19.

There are enormous value creation potentials in pricing

The price has a higher influence on the operating profit than quantities or cost changes. However, the importance of strategic pricing is massively underestimated by most companies. Empirical studies clearly show that there are enormous value creation potentials in pricing. Too few companies have developed a long-term pricing strategy, too few companies consistently use the levers of price enforcement, and only a few companies have price controlling that deserves this name.

How to build high pricing competence

Dr. Hans-Christian Riekhof knows pricing from his own management experience. He was, among other things, division manager at Beiersdorf and marketing director in the Otto Group in Hamburg. The professor for International Marketing at the PFH Private University of Göttingen and consultant of renowned companies in strategy and marketing topics is also author and editor of various books on strategy, marketing and retail business. Most recently, his book on “The 6 Levers of Strategy Implementation” and the 3rd edition of the book on “Retail Business” he edited were published. In his lecture, he reports entertainingly and practically, which levers can be used to increase pricing competence, which building blocks and processes belong to a long-term pricing strategy. Using case studies and practical examples, it is shown how companies build high pricing competence instead of getting involved in every price war. After the event, a joint conclusion with interesting discussions and culinary delights is planned. Venue:
