A sound pricing strategy remains a very effective profit lever in business and can propel your organization to the next level of performance. We typically find 3% - 8% return on sales in incremental impact driven by type of Industry and level of starting pricing maturity.

Many organizations lack the strategic mindset, execution ability, and discipline to unlock value from pricing. Without a clear “owner” of pricing and cross-functional linkages, many organizations struggle to set a strategy and achieve next-level pricing capabilities.

KPMG’s Pricing and Commercial Excellence team can help.

Our deep industry knowledge, cutting-edge methodologies, and industry-leading data and analytics capabilities can help you choose the right solution to help deliver value for your business and customers.
