Your pricing department activity and staffing issues?
Well the Macro-economic news is overwhelming. Good time to connect with you and about your micro-economic issues of the day.
To what extent is your company responding to downward price pressures? How much more or less is the company turning to your department for price and profit help?
Perhaps your company is the exception and plans to thrive with pricing in 2009.
Look at McDonald’s who just reported an 8% sales increases, despite huge currency impacts. They credit lower pricing, more frequent promotions and a healthier menu to their success.
For example --my McDonalds now offers free coffee every workday morning ; so guess who switched out of Starbucks for Mickey D? ( right me!-and “I’m lovin it”)
