Pricing has no power

from The Yield Doctor with James Deaker Hosted by deaker

Most pricing teams aren’t failing because they’re bad at pricing. They’re failing because they’re set up to fail. In this video, I break down one of the most common (and misunderstood) problems in pricing organizations: why strong analysis, good data, and capable teams still struggle to have real impact. If you’ve ever felt like: “We’re doing great work, but no one listens” “We’re constantly being overridden” “Pricing gets blamed when deals go wrong” …then this isn’t a capability problem. It’s a structural one. What you’ll learn in this video: Why pricing teams often lack influence (even when they’re right) The structural issues that limit impact (not talent or tools) Why pricing is often under-leveled relative to Sales and leadership The concept of pricing as a power and authority problem, not a data problem How leading companies structure Pricing, Deal Desk, and Yield/Revenue Management Why expanding scope is key to elevating the function The risks of overcorrecting with overly senior org structures Key idea: If your pricing team doesn’t have the authority to influence decisions, it won’t matter how good the analysis is. Who this is for: Pricing leaders and analysts Ad tech and digital media professionals Revenue, yield, and monetization teams Sales and commercial leaders working with pricing Executives thinking about org design and decision-making Work with me This is exactly the type of challenge I help companies solve — not just improving pricing, but structuring teams so that pricing can actually drive results. 👉 Learn more: https://www.korukeamedia.com 👉 Or reach out directly if you’re dealing with this in your organization
