Top consultants provide insights how to value intangible benefits coming from sustainable food ingredients.
Perceived Value, True
Producers of food ingredients are direct global supply chains, source raw materials and manufacture food ingredients with certain technical features. Sales and marketing professionals in the food ingredients industry value and sell these features such as taste, texture, shelf life, stability, food safety as tangible benefits. However, with sustainability, suppliers of food ingredients today proclaim to value and sell a better world. Such as increased levels of animal wellfare and biodiversity, deforestation no child labour or a reasonable income for farmers.
To be able to address one or more of the 17 SDG’s with a solutions coming from food ingredients brings value to the table of the customer. But how to value, price and sell this solution? Will your customer demand a lower price and be part of the problem or accept a higher price and be part of the solution? Participants will acquire insights about valueing intangable benefits and become familiar with value selling techniques.
The masterclass will be held on three days:

Michel Scholte, Impact Institute
‘With the concept of True Pricing, societal and environmental costs are also to be included in the overall cost price of food ingredients. To implement this concept in the business of food ingredients successfully, requires a mutual understanding of both the producer and customer about the impact of this concept on each other’s business. Ultimately creating a more sustainable solution together with more value at a higher price level. How do you make your customer partly responsible for the solution instead of being jointly guilty?’
Michel Scholte is the Director and co-founder of Impact Institute. Committed to an economy where all products have a true price and all organisations steer on impact weighted accounts, he has been elected as ‘Minister of the New Economy’ (CSR Netherlands). This is a ceremonial role aimed at accelerating sustainable business.

‘To add value to our global supply chains is complex, but highly relevant in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) of the United Nations. But sustainable solutions often put restrictions on price, flexibility, reliability and sometimes on quality and other product related criteria. To what extent are customers prepared to accept these restrictions and make a contribution to a world that succeeds instead of fails?’

TRAINER DURING THE MASTERCLASS
Using True Pricing principles in the overall cost price of food ingredients, it is of extreme importance to be able to get the value confirmed and payed for by the customer. The value does not come from tangible benefits such as taste or shelf life, but it is about intangible benefits addressing global warming, personal health, animal welfare, etcetera. How to commit your customer to a higher value of food ingredients? This is a three-day session enabling participants to master value selling techniques and capture the perceived value of true costs!’
