A practical guide for pricing, revenue, and risk leaders: what pricing surveillance is, how it differs from dynamic pricing, and how to detect and govern

While many executives associate surge pricing with Uber or airlines, its real untapped potential lies within B2B industries still reliant on static, annual price lists. This guide unpacks how dynamic pricing models move beyond “cost-plus” formulas, allowing businesses to respond intelligently to market shifts, protect margins from volatile costs, and capture otherwise lost revenue. From manufacturing and distribution to retail, learn how to leverage your data to implement a pricing strategy that boosts profitability and agility.
Facing intense margin pressure from volatile costs, traditional static pricing is proving inadequate for B2B wholesale and distribution firms, often leaving an 8-11% profit lift unrealized from even minor price optimizations.
Relying on outdated annual lists or simple cost-plus models prevents effective reaction to real-time market shifts and specific customer sensitivities. This article explores how implementing AI-powered dynamic pricing strategies provides the crucial agility needed to optimize margins, navigate complexity, and build sustainable profitability.
Pricing decisions are often swayed by the “HiPPO” effect—Highest Paid Person’s Opinion—resulting in gut-based calls rather than data-driven strategies. High-profile examples, like Sam Altman’s $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription and Elon Musk’s $8 Twitter checkmark, illustrate the risks of ignoring robust pricing frameworks. To maximize profitability, companies must treat pricing as a strategic function supported by data, governance, and cross-functional collaboration.

As market pressures intensify, distributors are increasingly challenged to maintain profitable growth. Traditional strategies often fall short in today’s volatile landscape, leaving many distributors grappling with price realization gaps, customer churn, and missed cross-selling opportunities.
This whitepaper explores how AI/ML-enabled Revenue Growth Management (RGM) strategies can address these issues, providing a comprehensive guide to leveraging advanced analytics for sustainable growth. With actionable insights into dynamic pricing, customer retention, and data integration, this resource empowers distribution leaders to navigate complex growth obstacles and build resilient, data-driven strategies for the future.

A solid pricing strategy can be the key to gaining market share and fueling business growth.
Competitive pricing, when done right, goes beyond just undercutting competitors. It’s about strategically positioning your products to maximize market share, maintain profitability, and align with long-term business goals.
For example, a premium skincare company successfully used price skimming to launch a high-end anti-aging cream at a premium price, capturing early adopters and reinforcing brand exclusivity. Later, they strategically lowered prices to attract broader market segments.
This article’ll explore how competitive pricing works, discuss real-world implementation strategies, and examine how it fits within a broader Revenue Growth Management (RGM) framework. We’ll also weigh the pros and cons, ensuring you have the tools to craft an effective pricing strategy that drives sustainable growth.

Dynamic pricing has evolved from a niche concept into a fundamental capability for both B2C and B2B businesses seeking to optimize profits and remain competitive in a market characterized by increasing volatility and data proliferation. By adjusting prices in real-time (or near real-time, like daily or weekly batches) based on factors like market demand, customer behavior, social media sentiment, and inventory levels, companies can respond much faster to fluctuations and preferences.
As pricing consultants with decades of combined experience, we’ve witnessed firsthand how dynamic pricing can significantly impact Operating Profits and pricing team productivity. In this article, we’ll explore the nuances of dynamic pricing, exploring its various models, industry applications, best practices for implementation, challenges, ethical considerations, technological requirements, and future trends.
With AI/ML at the center of current and future commercial capabilities, understanding dynamic pricing is essential for driving growth, driving positive price perception, and augmenting customer satisfaction.

Price optimization is crucial for maintaining profitability and ensuring customer satisfaction. Our latest article, ‘A Brief Guide to Price Optimization: Strategies, Tools, and Best Practices,’ provides practical insights into implementing data-driven pricing strategies.
Learn how to effectively apply dynamic pricing, value-based approaches, and competitive analysis to enhance revenue and support sustainable business growth. This brief guide offers a clear overview of the essential tools and techniques needed to navigate the complexities of modern pricing.
