The Presenters
Week 1 – Jon Manning – Head of Pricing, Carsales.com.au
Internationally recognised and experienced, Jon’s optimal pricing strategies ensure that companies he works with achieve an average of 20.9% revenue uplift.
Jon’s career has been a journey through the most commonly used pricing methodologies: the cryptic world of oil industry pricing, cost-plus pricing in catering and consumer packaged goods, revenue / yield management in aviation, travel and tourism, and dynamic pricing in internet cafes on the High Streets of the EU and USA.
Today, Jon primarily develops value-based pricing and monetisation strategies for companies that recognise its not what he knows about pricing in an industry that counts: its what he knows about pricing in so many other industries that helps make Jon’s work with them more profitable.
