RAKEZ GROWTH SERIES​

FROM DISCOUNTS TO VALUE: PRICING FOR PROFIT, NOT SURVIVAL

JANUARY 21, 2026

9:30 AM to 11:30 AM
RAKEZ Compass Coworking Centre

Less Discounting • More Confidence • Real Profitability

Too many SMEs win contracts- but lose profit. Competing on price may feel necessary, but it’s often the fastest way to erode margins and burn out your business.

This opening session of the 2026 RAKEZ Growth Series tackled one of the most critical drivers of sustainable growth: pricing and positioning.

Learned why discount-led strategies fail, what customers are really willing to pay for, and how added value, clarity, and confidence consistently outperform price wars. This session gave practical frameworks to price smarter, protect margins, and grow profitably – without working harder or selling more.
