Pricing on your mind? It sure seems like it's all anyone can talk about, from the local server to the CEO. Everyone is trying to figure out how inflation, supply chain issues, labor increases, and interest rates impact pricing today and where things are going to be in the future so they can plan their next move.
Today I dive deep into the world of pricing strategies, value-based pricing, and price optimization with my guest, Casey Brown. Casey is the founder of Boost Pricing and has been a pricing geek for decades. Her past experience in engineering, Six Sigma, and working on pricing strategy for multiple Fortune 500 companies prior to Boost Pricing has equipped her with unique insights into pricing and its impact on businesses.
Casey and I covered a ton of ground–we explored the importance of confidence, transparency, and strategic decision-making in pricing, price optimization, and dynamic pricing. This conversation will leave you with some very important concepts that can help you not only navigate the next few years, but allow you to pull ahead of your industry.
What I love about this interview is that we explore the super interesting intersection of art and science, people and process, and data and psychology in the realm of pricing and price psychology.
I learned A TON and I am sure you will too.
