Rhodes Porter business case insight: Turning pricing into a decisive market strategy advantage - We were happy to have in-depth discussion on preparing financial & staff capabilities to support the business development goals throughout a business's lifecycle. Rhodes Porter was able to give valuable data driven strategy to avoid the last-minute scramble for capital. Too often, business plans overlook the total cost of execution - the Position, Promotion, People & Process needed to create the sale. A pricing strategy influences net sales that the price offers to the top line of revenue. Pricing isn’t easy. Stay Focused Mean Business | https://lnkd.in/eFeKkBXs
