Many SMEs work with price lists or agreements that have evolved historically. They operate "well enough", as long as little changes. However, as an organisation grows, internationalises, attracts new segments, or introduces more complexity, that system begins to crack.


A strong pricing strategy provides direction, clarity, and support. It forms the foundation upon which commercial teams can build and on which the health of margins can be monitored. Model development is then the practical translation of that strategy, ensuring that pricing is not only smart but also executable.


We help SMEs develop a pricing strategy that fits their reality: fast, pragmatic, data-driven, and fully applicable.

Why pricing strategies are essential for SMEs

Why pricing strategies are essential for SMEs

A SME does not have the luxury of large water tanks in which inefficiencies can drown. Every mistake or deviation has a direct impact on the results. Pricing without strategy is therefore a recipe for unpredictability.


A strategy is crucial when:

  • prices do not make sense per segment

  • customers are treated inconsistently

  • margin goals are not met

  • salespeople have too much freedom

  • negotiations are mainly based on gut feeling

  • price lists do not evolve with products or costs

  • many exceptions arise without a framework


A pricing strategy makes clear "why" things are as they are — and prevents discussion, noise, and mistakes.

Our approach focuses on four dimensions that make a difference for SMEs:

Segmentation &

value perception

Tailored Strategy Design

Not every customer is the same. Not every group has the same willingness to pay or perception of value. A strong strategy starts with segmentation:

  • who contributes the most to your margin?

  • which customers need to be served differently?

  • where is there pricing space that you are not yet exploiting?

We bring structure to the chaos and link segments to clear guidelines.

Costs, competition
and positioning

Costs, competition
and positioning

A strong pricing model takes into account:

  • cost structures

  • market pressure

  • competition

  • differentiation

Pricing is a balancing act between value and reality. We make that balance clear and structured.

Guidelines, margin bands
and exception frameworks

Comprehensive Data Analysis

A strategy is only useful if it provides guidance to teams.
That is why we define:

  • margin goals

  • minimum prices

  • target prices per segment

  • escalation processes

  • exception policy
    This reduces ad-hoc decisions and strengthens sales discipline.

Applicability

in daily practice

Strategy without execution is worthless. We ensure that pricing models:

  • are easy to apply for sales

  • are error-proof

  • are logically integrated into ERP/CRM

  • work for new quotes, customers, and products

Practical

model development

Model development is the step in which strategic principles are translated into concrete behaviour and tools:


  • price lists

  • segment-based pricing

  • bundle or tiered structures

  • service and delivery models

  • margin visualisations

  • pricing instructions for teams

  • quotation templates

A pricing model must primarily be: clear, robust, and scalable.


When model development makes a difference

SMEs often recognise these scenarios:

  • the product portfolio has grown, but prices have never been reviewed

  • there is no clear distinction in prices between customer types

  • sales regularly make exceptions because guidelines are lacking

  • margins vary significantly by seller

  • new markets are being entered but the pricing structure remains identical

  • customers increasingly negotiate based on the past rather than value

    These situations are indicative that a model is becoming outdated.

What does a strong pricing strategy yield?

A good strategy and model development brings:


  • predictable margins

  • clear guidelines for teams

  • fewer exceptions

  • better negotiating position

  • higher customer appreciation through transparency


  • more realistic price lists

  • fewer internal discussions

  • more trust in sales

  • a professional and scalable pricing policy


The effect is often noticeable within a few weeks, and structurally within a few months.
