Statistical Analysis and Data Mining for Revenue Growth


Robert Hernandez | Direct/Text: 305.420.6310 | [email protected]

I guide managers in enterprises, business units, and organizations in the science of creating data-driven revenue tactics. I help bridge the analytics talent gap that exists in the Revenue Planning profession by building customized pricing models, automated reporting, anaytical processes and a Culture of Analytics Thinking. I consult on-site and remotely.

Here are Some of the Questions I Answer

Revenue
Analytics

Which Analytics tool is most applicable to solve a particular pricing problem? Can a problem which affects profit be solved mathematically or predictively? How can I formulate a specific challenge into a research question?

Demand
Forecasting

Have the demand patterns changed significantly? What is the likely demand given a certain price offering? What revenue and profit can I expect? What is the demand pattern by market, channel, product category, purchasing window, and customer type?

Revenue
Optimization

What is the combination of price changes that will give us the most Total Profit? What is the best pricing strategy to re-position my brand(s)? What rate should I offer a specific group?  How should I price each distribution channel? When and what type of marketing offers are needed to drive demand?

Profit
Modeling

How can I leverage technology and math to make the thousands of pricing decisions I have to make? How do I automate recurring decisions that are specific to my company’s unique pricing strategy? Which data mining algorithm is best suited to address a particular challenge?
