"We engaged Price for Profit to help us gain insight into a critical strategic business decision that involved a very complex pricing structure. They were able to investigate the situation, conduct in-depth analysis, distill the information and make recommendations in a short period of time; something we could not have been able to do on our own. The tools, insights, and conclusions provided by Price for Profit had a dramatic impact on our move-forward strategy. This eye-opening engagement also changes our perspective on pricing opportunities across our business, and we are now utilizing Price for Profit to deliver additional improvements.”
Gail Constancio, Vice President Finance

"Price for Profit's power resides in their ability to leverage both internal and market data with their pricing expertise, which certainly opened our eyes and got the organization engaged and moving quickly toward a common goal. Through a detailed project plan, they were able to turn large/complex problems into manageable pieces and effectively drive results. The tools and processes they've developed with us enable sound pricing decisions and better positioning across all of our channels, something we struggled with before working with Price for Profit.”
Mike Roughton, President & CEO
International Graphics, Inc.
“We are very pleased with our experience with Price for Profit. With the depth of their experience in the Sales Cycle and a variety of businesses, they were able to very quickly help us identify our top ten opportunities for savings. We have recently completed the work on our top opportunity and found that Price for Profit delivered on their promised performance and we will receive an attractive return on our investment in their services. As an important by-product, through their hands-on involvement, and team facilitation skills, Price for Profit provided a professional, team-based work experience for many of our employees who were a part of the project. Maybe the strongest statement is that we have invited them back for the next project and more strategic involvement.”
Thomas J. Paul, Chief Financial Officer
Buechel Stone Corp.
“As we became more aware of our need for an overhaul of our pricing and margin management systems, Price for Profit stepped in to help us. They began with a detailed analysis of our data and current practices as well as an understanding of where we wanted to go, and then mapped out a clear action plan that was achieved over a two-month period. It is only through their technical expertise, enthusiasm and team approach that we were able to achieve outstanding results in such a short time; results that will continue to pay dividends to our business each day. Had we attempted to do this on our own, it would have taken 12 to 18 months and we still would have been woefully lacking in several areas we were able to achieve with them. We are now looking forward to working with Price for Profit on the next phase.”
Mike Moore, Vice President of Sales & Marketing
Vitex Packaging Inc.
“Price for Profit provides a simple straightforward approach to finding and closing pricing leaks. They know where to look and find pricing leaks where others cannot. They present data-based opportunities for profit enhancement within reach of your sales, customer service, and financial analysis teams, using lean six sigma methodology and the experience of their process to deliver quick benefits.”
Rick Olszewski, Executive VP of Specialty/Sales/Marketing
LP Building Products
“Apprehension and consultant are words that usually go together. When our work began with the folks from Price for Profit our apprehension went away almost immediately. Within the first two weeks we were amazed to discover that they had completely caught on to the intricacies of our system and further gained the trust of our staff - not an easy task! And shortly thereafter they outlined a plan of attack and not only spearheaded the effort; they were completely immersed in the action steps, side by side with our employees. We are currently at the point where we are monitoring the results to determine the programs success. I am confident we will find much more than our original estimates. Certainly this has been one of our best investments in recent times.”
Ray Loomis, National Sales Manager
Braden Sutphin Ink Company
“We have been working with Price for Profit for over six months on several projects. They first helped us identify and recover billable freight income that hadn’t been invoiced, resulting in a 300% ROI. More importantly, they created a procedure and trained our people to prevent future losses. Price for Profit is also developing a customer pricing tool for our company and training staff in market-based pricing at the same time. I am confident this tool, combined with our new pricing strategy, will improve our pricing calculus and consistency, and will be quickly reflected in a bottom-line increase. It is unusual to find a consulting firm that is an expert and focused in a single area. Price for Profit has been quick to understand our business and they have applied the resources to implement improvements as disciplined, on-time projects.”
Mike Neundorfer, President
Neundorfer. Inc.
“There is no more impactful lever to pull than the price level when you're trying to optimize the profitability of your business - until you've got your pricing under control, you're leaving money on the table...every business leaks profit during the cash realization cycle - identify your leaks, plug them (permanently) and reap the benefits. Price for Profit is the right partner to help you maximize these benefits quickly and cost effectively.”
Brad Steven, Chief Operations Officer
