A 10% discount can erode up to half the profit on that client.
With a sound pricing strategy you depend less on discounts, revenue grows, and profitability improves.
Every month without deliberate pricing action means revenue you don't earn. You find out how much more you can collect from what you already sell, and where to start.
Every project starts with a free 30-minute online meeting where we clarify the needs and how to move forward.
The Diagnosis has three steps:
Examples of data we ask for: current revenue structure, sales volumes, details on how prices are set, and current client segments. We walk through what's needed together. If some information is missing, we adapt.
All data is protected by an NDA, signed at the start of the project.
At the end of the strategy workshop, if you feel it wasn't worth it, let us know within 24 hours and we refund the full amount.
If you do the Diagnosis and then continue with Focus or directly with Boost, the €500 is deducted from the next step's investment - you only pay the difference.
We replace pricing decisions made "on the fly" with a clear model: who you sell to, what, and at what price - so you collect more from what you already sell.
The main data we need from you: sales and revenue reports, price structure by channel and segment, detailed volumes. We also look at how pricing decisions get made, where the operational frictions are, and how price-policy adherence is tracked.
One important point: you run ~10 interviews with your clients yourself, using a structured guide we prepare.
We agree on the final data list together, based on the specifics of your business. We work in collaborative sessions, and the format adapts to your style and availability. All data is protected by an NDA, signed at the start of the project.
Across the 3 months we meet recurrently (we recommend at least once a month) to track progress and adjust where needed. You also have ad-hoc access to us when you need support on pricing decisions, team coaching, and similar. We agree the details together, based on your needs.
Some clients are ready to continue on their own. Others prefer an ongoing partnership. We find the right formula together. One thing is certain: at the end of the 3 months you have no obligation to continue.
Focus is built around revenue. If the pressure is on profit too, Boost goes deeper - into P&L analysis, specific price points, and preparing the team to make pricing decisions on their own.
For businesses where the pressure is on profitability as well as on revenue. Beyond pricing strategy, we work on the cost structure, the team's capabilities, and the connection between pricing, customer experience, and brand experience.
The P&L is a critical instrument for Boost and other larger projects. If it's missing or incomplete, we build it as part of the project.
The main data we need from you: sales reports, monthly P&L broken down by product, price structure by channel and segment, and access to the relevant team for workshops. We look at how pricing decisions get made, where the operational frictions are, and how price-policy adherence is tracked.
Client interviews are conducted by the Altstart team, using our interview guide.
We agree on the final data list together, based on the specifics of your business. We work in collaborative sessions, and the format and participants adapt to your goals and availability. All data is protected by an NDA, signed at the start of the project.
Whichever option you choose, every project is built around the pricing strategy that best fits both your business needs and your clients' needs. What varies is the depth, the cadence of working sessions, and the type of impact pursued (revenue, or all the way down to profit margin).
We don't send reports to your inbox. Everything we deliver is presented and discussed live.
Strategy design is the starting point. That's why every Focus or Boost project includes 3 months of implementation support.
Every business is different, with different size and complexity, and the final price reflects that. We set it transparently after we understand your situation, before signing anything.
We work with product and service businesses across many industries. Pricing strategy has a set of universal or transferable principles - what differs is the context, which is why we always start from your data, not from a template.
We believe in fair partnership, so our guarantees focus on deliverable quality and flexibility:
Note: We guarantee the quality of our strategy and process, but we can't guarantee final business outcomes (revenue, profit), which depend on market and execution factors outside our direct control.
We apply the same principles to projects that aren't about pricing - go-to-market planning, financial optimization, or process redesign.
