Optimization Tips

Start with fundamentals - Address pricing and offer optimization before advanced growth tactics
Implement systematically - Focus on one area of improvement at a time rather than attempting simultaneous optimization across all functions
Measure and iterate - Track key metrics consistently and refine strategies based on actual performance data
Consider market context - Adapt recommendations to your specific geographic market, customer base, and competitive environment
Combine skills strategically - Use multiple skills in sequence (e.g., Financial Projections to model scenarios, then Pricing Optimizer to test strategies)
