The arithmetic every P&L obeys

Price is the most powerful and fastest profit lever

Grow volume and the extra revenue arrives loaded with extra cost. Improve price and the gain drops straight to profit. At a typical 8% operating margin, one point of price grows profit by 12.5%. That is arithmetic, before any volume effect. One point is a conservative figure. Discount discipline alone can recover it. Setting list prices on value, and passing cost increases through, usually recovers more.

Pricing does more than protect profit. Price architecture, the conditions behind your discounts and rebates, puts the incentives where they move your customers most. Managed well, pricing grows sales as well as margin.

+12.5%
profit growth from +1% price
+25%
profit growth from +2% price
+37.5%
profit growth from +3% price

Pure price effect, volume unchanged, at an 8% operating margin. Your margin changes the multiplier: at 5%, one point of price is +20% profit.

The 45-minute conversation

One call, camera optional, no slides. You bring your situation: growth that has slowed, margin under pressure, a pricing decision on your desk, or a commercial seat you need filled. You leave with my view of your best levers for sales and profit growth, and what I would do next. If Takuven is not the right answer, I will say so on the call.

For leaders of B2B SMEs above roughly S$10M revenue, private equity investors, and multinational or scale-up executives.
