Tell us about a time when you had to make a pricing decision under uncertainty. How did you approach it?

I had to make a pricing decision under uncertainty when I worked as a Pricing Analyst at ABC Insurance. We were launching a new insurance product and there were no comparable products in the market. To approach this decision, I analyzed various factors such as the cost of claims, market demand, and competitive pricing. I also conducted market research and gathered customer feedback to understand their willingness to pay. After evaluating all the data, I formulated three pricing scenarios: conservative, moderate, and aggressive. I presented these options to the senior management team, highlighting the potential risks and rewards of each scenario. Together, we decided to launch the product with the moderate pricing scenario, as it balanced profitability and competitiveness. This approach proved successful, as the product gained significant market share and exceeded revenue targets.
