Are you stuck in Excel? Are Pricing decisions made from the gut rather than from analytics? Do you consider the 4–8 C's of Pricing in your pricing decisions? Do you incorporate the volume hurdle in your pricing conversations? Would you like an easier pricing approval process that is embedded right into your pricing analytics instead of sending manual emails back-and-forth that create silos and are hard to track and trace? Come join us where we show you Labelmaster's journey from gut-driven pricing to a more data-driven 'controlled' way of managing prices that lead to easier and better decision-making, and ultimately to more profitable results. We will demonstrate how you can get a lot of what the big-name, expensive pricing software vendors offer with ‘Wiglaf Institute-recommended’ pricing tools such as prices by continuous and discrete variables (scatterplots and box-and-whisker plots) and price bands that become easily accessible, available and adopted throughout the organization—using Microsoft’s Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps and Power Automate) that actually work for us.From "set-to-forget" prices to "give-to-get" and "pay-for-performance"! From data --&gt; to insight --&gt; to recommendation --&gt; to profitable action!<h2>Sponsors</h2>
