Frequently Asked Questions

 

LeveragePoint is unique because we are the only software solution that quantifies a value-based price. Other pricing software may do related strategic pricing tasks, such as analyze transactional data to calculate optimal pricing, administer pricing lists, manage sales discounts, etc. However, these solutions are based on either competitive pricing or cost-plus pricing. So from a strategic pricing perspective, LeveragePoint is a great complement to these other solutions. Put another way, we provide the first bar on the pricing waterfall (value price) – not to mention helping sales capture more margin in the last bar (pocket price). LeveragePoint is also very effective as a stand-alone system, too.
 
Another key difference is that LeveragePoint can be deployed much more quickly and easily (without corporate IT), because we are a totally cloud-based solution. We can serve a much broader set of customers that cannot afford enterprise-based software.
 

 

Since LeveragePoint is a cloud-based collaborative platform, it becomes a central repository for value-based pricing data. Our solution provides functionality to keep data secure, manage its access and keep it up to date. Our technology is scalable for organizations of any size. LeveragePoint establishes a common, structured method and language that everyone in your organization can use when making value-based product, marketing, pricing and sales decisions. In comparison, spreadsheets suffer several drawbacks. They tend to be individual creations that are not scalable or user-friendly, and often become outdated or lost. By the way, you don’t need to throw out your spreadsheets if you use LeveragePoint, these can be transferred to the application.

 

 

LeveragePoint is easy to use. We purposely designed it so that any businessperson can immediately use it without any prior pricing experience. Literally hundreds of users have created their first value model within an hour. There is built-in learning and support that teaches you how to use it step by step. Plus, our subscription plan includes live training.

 

 

Customers report the following benefits of using LeveragePoint: better productivity in new product development process, better organizational alignment around pricing, better customer relationships, increased sales volume, better pricing decisions, better market intelligence among others. We often build a value model (using LeveragePoint of course) to quantify the economic value of our subscription for customers.

 

 

LeveragePoint can do an initial configuration and new user set-up within days. An initial user training session takes about 4 hours. A cross-functional team can build, iterate, and test a value model in the market in the course of weeks. The actual implementation time for your company depends on various organizational factors (size of organization, number of locations, timing, etc.) which we can estimate with further discussion. However, we can say that we can implement LeveragePoint significantly faster than any enterprise software solution and with better adoption than with traditional consulting or training solution.
