Call for book chapters PRICING AND THE SALES FORCE A Hinterhuber & S Liozu (Editors) Routledge, 2015 Pricing practices evolve - companies are increasingly implementing pricing strategies that are known to drive profits, such as value-based pricing or other forms innovative pricing approaches. While many companies thus master price setting, price getting is a largely unexplored area for most companies. Price getting relates to the ability to convert list prices into actually realized prices. This is strictly the domain of the sales force. This book is structured into five sections exploring how selling and the sales force create value in the context of a company’s pricing strategy: We are looking for contributions in the following five broad areas: - sales force capabilities: the skills to communicate and capture value - sales force structure: best practices for deciding how to structure the sales force and sales territories - selling processes: designing and implementing due process to obtain sales personnel commitment - sales force compensation: insights into how to align sales force incentive schemes - sales force support systems: tools and instruments to enable the sales force to perform. More information in the attachment. We look forward to your thoughts and submissions.
