Value – based = ideaal! Waarde detectie – perceived value – willingness to pay Price realization = krijgen wat je er voor vraagt Is samenspel tussen marketing en sales. Waarde moet uitgedragen worden door sales – moeten eigen waarde geloven Waarde moet gecommuniceerd worden door marketing – consument moet waarde kennen en geloven Systemen en procedures moeten sales houvast geven – geen adhoc kortingen - negotiation power – etc;
