Pricing for Management Consultants & Business Analysts
Pricing for Management Consultants & Business Analysts
What is the aim of this course?
Consulting firms sometimes help optimize pricing. You have to be very careful in this sort of project because a small change may have a huge impact both on the top-line and bottom-line. Analyzing changes in pricing is not easy as you have to take into account the relations between the products and the long-term impact on customer behavior. In this course, I will teach how to perform fast and efficiently different types of analyses related to pricing.
In the course you will learn the following things:
Essential Concepts used in Pricing
What Price Setting Techniques firms can usee
How to set the prices for a product
What is Price Perception and how you can impact it without changing the prices?
How pricing is done in consumer goods, retail, and B2B Services
How to analyze the impact of planned pricing policy changes in Excel
This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated in total 2 billion of additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 124 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.
I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modification, be applied by you or your team in your work. There will also additional resources that will help you learn a lot of things beyond the scope of this course.
Why have I decided to create this course?
Most people that start working in consulting have limited knowledge of how pricing works in practice and how to analyze potential changes in Excel. On top of that, pricing will differ greatly in many industries.. This may lead to huge frustration during consulting projects and a lot of inefficiencies.
Therefore, I have decided to create this course that will help students understand or refresh the main skills and tools related to pricing that they need during consulting projects. The course will give you the knowledge and insight into real-life case studies that will make your life during a consulting project much easier. Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do during consulting projects devoted to pricing analysis. You will master how to analyze data and draw conclusions from the analyses. On top of that, you will also master the essential information related to pricing.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to become a world-class Management Consultant or Business Analyst you have to have a pretty decent understanding of pricing techniques and analyses done during projects devoted to pricing. That is why, I highly recommend this course to Management Consultants or Business Analysts, especially those that did not finish business school or Economics. The course will help you become an expert in pricing analyses on the level of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top consulting firms.

Essential Concepts in Pricing. We will start by discussing the essential concepts that we will use later on for analyzing pricing.
Price Setting Techniques. In this section, I will show you using a lot of examples of different pricing techniques.

Pricing in Consumer Goods & Retail. In this section, we will have a look at some issues related to the pricing of consumer goods. We will also have a look at some more advanced case studies.
