Announcing SPMG is new Structural EPP Partner

Brussels, January 09, 2014

The European Pricing Platform (EPP) is thrilled to announce that Strategic Pricing Management Group (SPMG) will become a new structural partner, content provider, and exhibitor at upcoming EPP events throughout Europe. By delivering know-how through these resources, SPMG contributes to improve the pricing knowledge of our pricing and profit optimisation Community.

In a world in which stakeholders are more demanding, customers more selective, and competitors fight aggressively for more market share, pricing is one of the biggest profit levers you can tweak to make an impact on your bottom line. 

“The actual volatile and uncertain business environment in Europe it is and is forecasted to remain complex and ambiguous for the next couple of years. In this situation, top performing companies that tackled the problem of growth by leveraging pricing and achieving high pricing power, outperformed competitors by delivering 25% higher profits”, said Fabio Cicalini, Managing Director, DACH & Italy, at SPMG. “With more than 20 years expertise in pricing and hundreds of projects delivered in all verticals, thought leaders, industry experts and dedicated Regional Directors, partnering with EPP puts SPMG in a position to help the pricing community bringing pricing in Europe at the next maturity level, and connect faster with companies to help them unlocking their unleashed pricing potentials”.

"We are very pleased to welcome SPMG to our partner community. It is great to know that they share the same ambition to bring pricing maturity in Europe to a higher level. We will work close together to help organisations discover how to achieve sustainable value capturing which results in full profit optimisation. We have excellent relationships with our partners and I am sure SPMG will enjoy being part of EPP activities.” said Pol Vanaerde, EPP President.
