"I believe this seminar was very interesting and carried out in a professional way. I joined it because bringing just one new good idea home or seeing a new different solution angle to an existing problem makes a difference for our future work. It is about ideas and knowledge sharing but also building a network of partners focusing on excellence in pricing and wanting deeper knowledge in best practice pricing with focus on business to business manufacturing companies."

"The EPP Aftermarket Forum presented an interesting mix of Automotive related Speakers as well as other industries and provide me with valuable insights in how different companies are tackling pricing and what they identified as Best Practices. Most of the parties seemed to have a consensus on the Best Practices, but the interesting part was how they implemented these concepts. All in all, a very good place to gather ideas and see peers in an open discussion environment. Definitely a keeper!"

"The share of revenue and profit derived from product-related and non-product related services continues to increase in significance among OEMS and OESs. Ignore this trend and the potential of service business at your peril. EPP is an excellent platform for Aftermarket cross-learning and stimulation.  The value and return are superb, when compared with the cost of obtaining such leading-edge knowledge by organic means."

Neil Fryer - Co-Founder  - Price Positioning
"The Aftermarket Forum was a great opportunity to meet and network with professionals working in other industries.  The Forum content gave the opportunity to reflect on common aftermarket issues and sparked off ideas for change and new ways of doing things.  I would recommend it as an excellent way to take a step back and refresh one's thinking."



Laura Mayr, Sales - Aftersales Pricing Manager at Andreas Stihl
"It was the perfect opportunity to have daily questions answered, to meet pricing managers from other industrial sectors and learn from each other experiences. I think I will definitely keep in touch with one or another and like that benefit from the event for a long time."
