Driving profitable offers
The mismatch
Many UK manufacturing companies experience a fundamental mismatch between their perception of product value and the markets perception of value on a significant proportion of their product range. The mismatch can be categorised in two ways:
A - On some products their perception of value is greater than the markets perception of value. To identify such products ask yourself which products:
- are reluctantly requiring dis to sell discounted?
- are subject to special deals?
- are selling a great offering in the wrong market place?
B - On some products it isn't realised that in fact the market perception of value is higher that their own perception. To identify such products ask yourself which products:
- have a very high sales conversion rate?
- have the price based solely on cost plus calculations?
- are not contested when a general price increase is proposed?
The mismatch – unresolved
Both of the mismatches in A and B above jeopardise the future viability of many UK Manufacturing companies. Leaving these mismatches unresolved has a major contributor to UK loosing a significant part of its industrial base.
