PHASE 14: PRICE KPIs
Track the right metrics to ensure your pricing strategy is successful.
Having invested the time in setting up pricing strategy, you need to ensure that it is working. Price strategies touch all parts of the organization. The impact, positive or negative, can be hidden. You must launch your new pricing strategy with clarity on the KPIs that will show points of success and failure. How you will calculate, baseline these metrics, and who will provide the underlying data must be defined. Only then can you track performance, and know when corrective measures are required.
