Reed Holden to Speak at Columbia Business School's Executive Education Seminar 'Strategic Pricing'

New York, New York (PRWEB) April 22, 2008 -- Holden Advisors announced today that Dr. Reed Holden has been chosen to co-present at Columbia Business School's Executive Education (http://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/execed/) seminar "Strategic Pricing," being held May 6-9, 2008, and in a fall session September 22-25, 2008, on Columbia's campus in New York City. Dr. Holden will team up with Dr. Noel Capon, R.C. Kopf Professor of International Marketing, to lead the seminar.

The curriculum will include Dr. Holden's latest book, Pricing with Confidence: 10 Ways to Stop Leaving Money on the Table (http://www.pricingwithconfidencebook.com).

"This seminar is perfect for upper-level and mid-level executives - especially those who analyze, recommend, or approve pricing strategies (http://www.holdenadvisors.com)," states Holden. "Those executives who are introducing new products, facing significant price competition, or looking for new approaches to weathering a downturn (http://www.holdenadvisors.com/pdfs/pr_031308_SlipperySlopeRecession.pdf) in the economy will be especially interested in what this seminar has to offer."

The four-day program will provide attendees with strategies, tools and best practices for rigorously tackling pricing and profit growth issues at both strategic and tactical levels. It will prepare attendees to systematically identify practical opportunities within your organization for boosting profits through improvement in pricing. Attendees will leave the program with powerful new insights into pricing issues, and a new awareness of additional ways to drive business results via strategic pricing.

Attendees of the seminar will also learn how to:

? Set prices at levels that maximize profits

? Measure customers' willingness-to-pay--and learn how to shape it based on the value you create

? Understand which costs are relevant for pricing decisions

? Establish price levels that maximize profitability

? Anticipate competitive moves and design your strategy accordingly

? Segment the market and get different customers to pay more or less based on their perceived value

? Approach pricing decisions from the standpoint of customer lifetime value

? Understand how to align prices across the product-line for maximizing overall profitability

? Identify key leakage points between the list price and the final realized price - and ways to reduce the leakage

? Maximize the profitability of negotiated pricing deals
