“I value and enjoy the CPM training programs.  For anyone starting their pricing journey or wanting to move up to the next level, the programs offer a unique combination of theory and best-practice, along with hands-on exercises that help participants map out their pricing initiatives confidently.  The CPM 2 and 3 projects over the following 6-12 months help to bring the concepts to life in practical, valuable ways, under the guidance of the trainers.  Personally, I very much enjoy learning about the participants companies and pricing experiences (a key part of the program value is the networking and exchange of experience.  Often my relationship with the participants continues well after the training and projects are completed.”
