Good parts pricing requires a clear definition of key
objectives – as well as their proper implementation
Pricing goal
What is the goal of parts pricing?
E.g. to maximize aftersales profits or to improve customer satisfaction/loyalty to support whole goods sales?
Competition
How to position parts prices to OES and OEM competition?
How to react to competitor price changes?
Value pricing
How to utilize value drivers to structure parts prices?
What parts are priced on value – and which require other logics (e.g. warranty parts)?
Brand coordination
How to coordinate retail prices as well as terms & conditions between brands?
How to position a 2nd line?
International pricing
How to differentiate prices internationally?
Who sets prices in the markets?

How would you characterize the service of your firm?
According to a worldwide survey
targeted at manufacturers, as many
as 52% of the respondents classify
their service offerings as "reactive"
Lack of expertise and competence in
the support team was cited as the
biggest hurdle to overcome
Only 8% of manufacturers consider
their service to be "predictive"
How would you classify your service
offerings?
Reactive;

What we often see: Cost instead of value mindset
Current approach…
Customer
"If needed, could you also
deliver on short notice the
next day?"
"No problem – this is
covered in all of our service
contracts."
Cost mindset:
"This doesn’t cost us more, so the
customer doesn’t have to pay
more!"
…and the right way!
"Of course, for only €30 we
can offer you our express
service."
Value mindset:
"Service is important to the
customer, so he should be willing
to pay for it."
