The Houston Strategy & Pricing Forum is an annual event for top executives involved in developing growth strategies for their companies. Its objective is to share innovative practices on commercial excellence and strategic price management that helps defend and grow profits in challenging markets. It is an exclusive opportunity to network and exchange ideas with thought leaders from leading companies across industries.

About this Event:

The current market environment poses significant challenges to companies across industries. From economic slowdown, inflation and recession risks to energy transition and technological disruptions, executives must deal with more scenarios that combine high uncertainty with high impact than ever before.

Likewise, many sales leaders have not managed through such challenging times before. Over the last year, inflation and supply chain disruptions forced many companies into short term pricing action. Yet, most price increases fell short of their targets, leading to significant margin squeeze.

With increasing uncertainty and disruptive market environments, what strategies and tactics can your business apply to increase the topline organically and grow profits sustainably? How can your company make sure price increases keep up with cost developments? And ultimately, how can new growth areas be discovered and unlocked to make your business more resilient for the future?

In the 6th Houston Strategy & Pricing Forum we will:

  • Present strategies to growth the topline and boost profits in disruptive and uncertain markets.

  • Share practical insights from leading companies to develop sales excellence.

  • Present methods, tactics and tools to implement sustainable price increases that that stick.
