This week on the Expert Voices podcast, Randy Wootton, CEO of Maxio, speaks with Dan Balcauski, Founder and Chief Pricing Officer of Product Tranquility. Randy and Dan explore the nuances of pricing from multiple angles and unravel the intricacies of how to structure effective pricing strategies that align with company objectives to drive both revenue and profitability.

They also discuss the emerging impact of AI on pricing models and the importance of sophisticated tools and structures for effective pricing governance.
