A PPS PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW PPS sponsors enjoy year-round access to the world’s largest professional pricing network—an audience of Certified Pricing Professionals, C-Suite revenue management executives, active members and other engaged pricing stakeholders including over 30,000 people worldwide. And with our audiences growing everyday, there’s no better time to get your products and services in front of our members—which are also your best-fit prospects—with budgets. Our sponsorships start with comarketing and branding. As an official partner, you’ll have your company listed on our website, PPS memberships, conference passes, PPS publication ads, and begin establishing yourself as a thought leader in our community with one podcast or webinar produced and promoted. Then the comarketing rachets up with social media cross-promotion, features in our signature publications, and webinar opportunities sharing your content our audience craves. But that’s just the beginning. Showcase your products and services at our 3+ annual conferences. Our attendees increasingly report they value networking as missioncritical to their conference experience. Our events allow you to maximize your travel budgets to meet and greet hundreds of pricing decision makers that drive profit, both theirs and yours with just one trip. Combine that with booth exposure in our highly trafficked sponsor hall, featured demos, and speaking opportunities, our events are the premier conferences for leadership teams in our part of the business world. We all know connections made in-person yield larger contracts faster and create raving fans with relationships that stick and stay. People don’t do business with businesses; they do business with people. We’ll help you meet yours because your people are our people.
OUR MISSION The PPS mission is to nurture a growing community of pricing professionals committed to disseminating pricing expertise throughout the business world. We do this by providing a multi-platform forum through which exceptionally talented and creative experts can exchange cutting edge pricing strategies, tactics and technology.
