Price-to-Win is both a strategy for a business and the ultimate product that results from that strategy. Price-to-Win is a process where you analyse and evaluate your company’s competitors and their data to predict how they will bid.
You will use this predicted bid and information about the customer’s budget to make a bid of your own. Your bid is a dynamic trade-off which takes both the customer’s and competitors into consideration.
