3 Pricing Program Initiatives to Continue Monetization in 2019
By: Adam Sheehan
To truly differentiate yourself in the market, top companies think about how they can continuously set themselves up to grow Revenues from their customer base. As you head into 2019, question the existing norms. Ask how you can differentiate yourself.
For many organizations, better or worse, the table is set for 2018. For companies with averages sales cycles three months or longer, any new initiatives will have little to no impact on this year. Many complex sales in the Technology Industry have average sales cycles that are closer to 6-12 months long. The time is now to rollout pricing initiatives to ensure you hit your 2019 financial objectives.
This is especially important as an organization matures over time. Growth objectives cannot always be attained through pursuing new accounts. Growing your base business is an essential lever to pull when your organization has aggressive revenue goals.
Now that you have narrowed your focus to your existing customers, the next question is how can we continue to monetize our customer base over time? Start moving on these three initiatives now to ensure they have the desired impact you want next year.
