LAKE FOREST, IL-To help banks, credit unions and savings institutions increase non-interest income, reduce costs and enhance consumer satisfaction, Moebs Services presents The Pricing Institute March 17 through March 21 at the Newport Beach Marriott Suites.

For the past fifteen years, the innovative, hands-on laboratory setting of The Pricing Institute has enabled presidents, executives, managers and supervisors to refine their pricing abilities. After just five days of instruction, participants leave equipped with practical, instantly applicable ways to succeed in the face of narrowing margins and stiff competition. Participants leave with an understanding of the art and science of pricing, not just what to charge.

This is best foundation for pricing I have seen in nearly 20 years of financial services institute experience," says Dave DeCrane, past participant and president/CEO of Telephone Credit Union in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Pricing Institute is led by two of the leading authorities in pricing today: Mike Moebs and Ken Williams. Mr. Moebs is the author of Pricing Financial Services by Dow Jones  the pricing bible of the financial service industry. A CPA with an MBA from the University of Chicago, he is an industry expert with almost 30 years of experience in financial services, including service as a credit union and bank director. Mr. Williams is a nationally recognized expert on risk analysis, pricing and profitability. Williams has an MBA and more than 30 years of direct hands-on experience in financial services, including marketing, pricing, distribution, credit policy and fraud.

Anyone in a position to change or influence price is encouraged to attend The Pricing Institute. At a cost of $2,395, it offers:

•40 hours of instruction;
•32 hours professional AICPA CPE credit;
•The Pricing Manual, the best book on pricing available;
•A pricing workbook with specific examples and cases;
•13 hours of case analysis and networking;
•The 18 Steps to Successful Pricing, a quick reference;
•Continental breakfasts, lunches and refreshments at breaks.
