      Market uncertainties, increasingly professional purchasing organisations and growing pressure on margins are presenting sales organisations with new challenges in 2026. Pricing decisions, market assessments and growth initiatives must be carried out more quickly – whilst at the same time, demands for transparency, controllability and the quality of decision-making are rising.

      The latest issue of our Spotlight Sales Performance addresses these challenges and highlights key levers that companies can use to manage their sales and financial performance in a targeted manner.

      An overview of our key areas of focus

      • Pricing & Revenue Management 2026: Effectively translating prices into profit contributions

        In 2026, sales performance will depend less on list prices and more on discipline in relation to discounts, terms and conditions, and negotiation tactics. Pricing will become the key driver of sales success – and clear guidelines, transparency and decision-making logic will help to consistently translate prices into contributions to profit.

      • GenAI-powered market assessments: making sales decisions more quickly and with greater confidence

        Sales managers face intense pressure to make decisions whilst dealing with an ever-increasing volume of complex information. This article demonstrates how GenAI-supported market assessments can help to structure market and growth potential more quickly, clarify priorities and underpin strategic sales decisions – without compromising on methodological rigour.
