But using this approach can yield some terrible results. I argue that it’s much better to use a heuristic approach to calculating a market price. Here’s why. #PricingStrategy #CostPlusPricing #MarketPricing #ManufacturingInsights #BusinessDecisions #PricingTips #HeuristicPricing #SmartPricing #BusinessGrowth #ManufacturingEfficiency

We engineer highly-efficient sales environments for dramatic organizational growth.
About us
Imagine an environment where salespeople just sell (winning new accounts and selling new product lines to existing accounts). And an environment where all other activities are performed by a tightly synchronized, inside sales-support team. Well stop imagining! We do this for our clients each and every day. We call this new way of thinking Sales Process Engineering (SPE). It’s what underpins everything we do here and it is at the core of our Managed SPE service. We provide our Managed Sales Process Engineering service to organizations in the United States, Australia and the UK. In short, this service involves designing, building and supervising the entire sales support function, which includes promotions, sales, customer service and field-sales support. Our clients retain their personnel, but we provide change-management, process supervision, promotional collateral and technology on an outsourced basis. We also partner with senior management to assist with strategy and ongoing improvement. Our service is powered by our contrarian approach to the design of sales environments (Sales Process Engineering) and by the Theory of Constraints.

Six Key Ideas! #SalesOpportunities #SalesStrategy #SalesManagement #SalesProcess #CustomerRetention #BusinessDevelopment #SalesPerformance #MarketingStrategy #SalesEffectiveness #LeadGeneration #SalesTeam #SalesSuccess #SalesLeadership #SalesTraining #BusinessStrategy #AccountManagement #SalesInsights
After yesterday's TOCICO presentation, Sanjeev Gupta asked me to distill the presentation to five key ideas. Here are six! Commit to speed. Recognize that, because of the tendency of organizations to become chaotic, there's a nonlinear relationship between cost and speed. You can only optimize for one: and only improvements in speed offer open-ended potential for profit improvement. A non-chaotic organization has a single drumbeat and everyone must know which resource is the drum. Every department must march to a time-based metric, and all local metrics must measure subordination to the global drum. Local metrics are installed, not taught. The work environment reinforces positive behaviors (and makes negative ones very difficult). Growth is the responsibility of a subsystem that is almost entirely decoupled from the business-as-usual system. Growth includes sales and marketing, new product development, and acquisitions.

Our Documentary: Double-Digit Growth - Watch now: https://lnkd.in/gc3TeyfY If you’re aiming for double-digit growth but consistently end up settling for singles, this documentary explains why (and, what to do about it). Justin Roff-Marsh takes us on a journey, back to the 1950s to contrast the design of two organizations’ front-of-house. Prince Castle (where Ray Kroc sold milkshake machines) had a traditional sales model—where the salesperson was the organization’s customer interface. But, not so, at Xerox. Xerox’s revolutionary pay-per-print proposition introduced a new relationship between the customer, the Sales department and Operations. Justin argues that, today, most transactions closely resemble Xerox’s pay-per-print proposition—but most sales departments continue to emulate the Prince Castle sales model. This is what prevents mid-size, industrial organizations from generating double-digit growth. #Sales #IndustrialOrganizations #BusinessGrowth #TheMachine #SalesDepartment #OrganizationDesign #SalesModels #IndustrialRevolution #BusinessInsights #B2BMarketing #BusinessDocumentary #OrganizationalTransformation #SalesGrowth #BusinessStrategy #OperationalExcellence #CompetitiveAdvantage #BusinessTransformation

I just thought of a headline and opening paragraph for my assault on cost accounting. What do you think? (Maybe tag your accountant so he can tell me the error of my ways!) YOUR ACCOUNTANT CAN'T DO MATH. Question: what do you call a mathematician who doesn't know the difference between arithmetic and calculus? Answer: an accountant. CONTEXT In case you're wondering, management decisions require that you predict profit, which is the difference between two rates (the rate at which contribution margin is generated and the rate at which operating expenses are accrued). Most (not all) accountants promote cost accounting as the method for management decision-making. Cost accounting erroneously assumes a direct relationship between transaction volume and operating expense. Cost accounting is popular because it enables business people to arrive at incorrect answers quickly and with impressive precision! POST SCRIPT I'm only kidding. This isn't actually going to be the title of my paper!

Traditional salespeople may claim to spend 100% of their time selling. In reality, it looks something like this.
