There has been a surge in business-to-business market changes and customer demand for pricing transparency—juiced in part by the aftermath of the pandemic and its supply chain disruptions.

The author has been applying the basic tools and techniques of AI/ML to pricing challenges across 25+ different industries for over 32 years.
Some of them any topics addressed are:

• Why a one-size-fits-all general price increase hurts profitability.
• Why pricing analytics (like price waterfalls) are useful but are not a silver bullet.
• What challenges businesses face when using just a business analytics reporting approach.
• What price segmentation is and how it benefits businesses.
• What four key steps drive a pricing science solution.
• How pricing science helps Sales avoid leaving money on the table and helps them win deals faster.
• Why improving profitability is not just a technical task, it is a leadership and management challenge.
