Managing Customer Needs

Objectives & Values


Transactional Pricing aims at reducing price dispersion amongst similar customers, and can be applied to most products.

Without transactional pricing, price increases are often focused on the same customers, with the risk of eventually losing them.

 

Sales Reps commit to prices at Account/Product level. The aim is to provide commitment information to Sales Reps when they quote : if the combination Account/Product of the quote match an active commitment, the committed price will be automatically displayed on the Quote layout to help the Sales Reps set their prices.
