Our unique methodology originates from our past experiences

PricingOne methodology is the result of a combined 50 years of experience in Pricing & Value Management, between 2 of the co-founders Ji-Hoon Dierckx and Samer Gabr. Ji-Hoon, PricingOne CEO, brought Value Pricing to every P&G Category including Gillette. Samer, PricingOne CPO, transformed P&G Pricing analytics and Dynamic Revenue Growth practices. It is this knowledge that attracted many experienced RGM practitioners to join the company.

PricingOne’s combined experience and know-how can help you as well to drive actionable interventions that last.

Up to +17% net sales & gross profit

Over 300bps sales margin improvement

Our integrated approach is consistently successful

With the current inflation/deflation and margin-related challenges that many companies are facing, we have developed a series of specific products, services and trainings to enable global and local teams to navigate inflation and help consumer goods companies execute and proactively think beyond pricing – to protect revenue and margins, while securing customers’ commitment.

Our approach is consumer centric

If there is one thing to remember, it is the following: focus first on your consumers. Put them at the center of your pricing strategy, as all pricing decisions come down to shoppers making a quick decision in-front of a physical or virtual shelf. By following our proven approach, asking the right key questions, and combining all aspects of our methodology, you will deliver the desired business results and improve category performance, consumer value, grow revenue and margins. Both Net Sales and Gross Profit acceleration are natural outcomes of our methodology.

Our approach is holistic

In order to be effective, our approach brings together all major departments involved in pricing decisions. This way, we onboard Sales & Trade Marketing, Marketing and Finance teams all together, unite them behind a common view of the business challenges and opportunities and engage them into the creation and implementation of the right strategies to bring additional value to the process. We then define for each team objectives, deliverables, key recipients, and a timeline to deliver.

Our approach is predictive

We are able to quantify the impact that price changes have on your volume sold, as well as market growth, and enable you to identify future price cliffs and anticipate the strategies and scenarios to navigate around them, even in inflationary/deflationary contexts. We also help you to gain in efficiency in terms of innovation/renovation, identifying the potential effect on your portfolio equilibrium (such as cannibalization impact and incrementality to your current portfolio) and evaluating the consumers’ willingness to pay to right-size and right-price your future innovations.
