It integrates several elements—business intelligence, economic frameworks, market characteristics, market forces, and organizational authority—into a tool that covers nearly every challenge and opportunity you will encounter when changing your pricing game.
By using the Strategic Pricing Hexagon, business leaders can understand what major factors can affect pricing decisions, allowing them to then formulate a clear pricing strategy and shape their business and markets with authority.
