It’s time to look at pricing decisions in a new light. Game Changer: How Strategic Pricing Shapes Businesses, Markets, and Society explores how the right pricing strategy can change the trajectory of your business, your industry, and society.
Many leaders assume that pricing is nothing more than a technical and tactical discipline based on four assumptions: that pricing is a zero-sum game, sellers should extract maximum value, markets set prices, and one "right" price exists. But this is a flawed premise. Pricing is a strategic game based on collaborative growth, value sharing, dynamic opportunities, and strategy.
We designed the Strategic Pricing Hexagon to unlock strategic pricing decisions with greater speed, confidence, efficiency, and impact. It integrates several elements—business intelligence, economic frameworks, market characteristics, market forces, and organizational authority—into a tool that covers nearly every challenge and opportunity you will encounter when changing your pricing game.
By using the Strategic Pricing Hexagon, business leaders can understand what major factors can affect pricing decisions, allowing them to then formulate a clear pricing strategy and shape their business and markets with authority.

Unique among pricing books, this one is not only for people who need to rethink pricing strategies. It is also for those interested in understanding the fairness of strategic pricing and how value is shared between buyers and sellers.
