PROS Webinar - Media Alert: No Time for Idling Curb-Side in Today's High-Speed Market
[September 28, 2016]

PROS Webinar - Media Alert: No Time for Idling Curb-Side in Today's High-Speed Market


PROS Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PRO):





 

WHAT:

Using a sophisticated process for deal review and escalation, one Fortune 50 technology manufacturer discovered it had sent more than 70% of its deals to the bid desk for review. While the system provided guardrails against over-discounting, a closer analysis revealed that 20% of those deals were lost simply because of the long waits for an initial price. InsideSales.com (News - Alert) reports that 50% of buyers choose the vendor that responds first. So here's the question: How much market share are your competitors taking because your quoting prices are slow and outdated?
 
Disruptive technologies like Uber prove that minimized wait times and consistent ease-of-use revolutionizes markets. Astute companies are picking up clients at their doorsteps, while competitors idle curb-side hoping customers come to them.
 
Customers and partners want self-service buying options with competitive pricing that removes friction and provides reliability in your services. When companies are able to achieve a faster time-to-benefit from your products and services, they can meet the high-speed expectations of their own customers.
 
This informative webinar will offer insights and real-world examples of how HP and other technology leaders have used data-driven price guidance to help ensure success:
 

• Create no-touch and low-touch purchase paths.

• Accelerate quote turnaround times.

• Remove channel conflicts and pricing errors.

 

This is the third of four webinars in the "Only the Pricing Proficient Survive" series, focused on helping technology companies realize their revenue and profit potential in today's challenging market.
