Key Takeaways

➥ Pricing is often overlooked, even in large corporations. Effective pricing strategies can significantly impact a company's growth and profitability.

➥ Companies often focus too much on acquisition and neglect monetization and retention. Understanding and addressing these areas can lead to substantial growth opportunities.

➥ Competitor-based pricing can be risky as it assumes competitors have the right strategy and can lead to undifferentiated pricing. Value-based pricing focuses on the perceived value to the customer, aligning price with the benefits and outcomes the product delivers.
