How to capture hidden value in FMCG and Retail

Revenue Growth Management

The definitive guide to one of the most commercially powerful disciplines in consumer goods — now available in print.

Most organisations leave significant value sitting between gross and net revenue — in pricing, promotions, pack architecture, and trading terms. Written by Jelle de Jong and Danilo Zatta, this book gives commercial leaders a practical framework to find it, measure it, and capture it systematically.

About the Book

The operating system for commercial growth

Revenue Growth Management spans pricing strategy, pack architecture, promotions, trading terms, channel mix, and commercial data — but in most organisations these are managed in silos, with no common framework connecting them.

This book brings together the key pillars of RGM in one place. For each, Jelle de Jong and Danilo Zatta explain what world-class practice looks like, why it matters commercially, and how leading FMCG companies have put it into action. It is a practical reference as much as a strategic guide.

Written for commercial leaders who want to understand RGM in full — not just the parts their function already owns.

RGM is not about more control. It is about more clarity. Not about more data, but better dialogue.

What the Book Covers

Nine dimensions of commercial maturity

From foundational pricing principles to the systems and routines that make RGM stick — the book covers every dimension of a high-performing commercial capability.

01
Pricing Strategy
Building a rigorous price positioning statement — why value leaks, how to find it, and how to defend margin without losing volume.
02
Price-Pack Architecture
Designing pack formats across missions, channels and price points to improve accessibility, premiumisation and margin simultaneously.
03
Promotions
True promotional ROI, cannibalisation, post-event dip and zero-based calendars — moving from activity to investment thinking.
04

Channel, Rate & Mix
Managing channel profitability, revenue mix and rate discipline to grow in the right places at the right margin.
07
Customer Profitability
Cost-to-serve, customer P&Ls and the discipline of managing the tail — knowing which customers to grow, fix or exit.
08
Organisation & Routines
How RGM capability is structured, how cross-functional teams collaborate, and the decision rhythms that make the system work.
09
Tools, Systems & Data
