\nCosting\, Pricing &\; Breakeven
\nHow do you price your product or service? \; Is it at a level that generates a profit or are you losing money and burning through cash? \;
\nAll businesses large\, small\, or start-up face this important challenge. \; Before establishing prices it is necessary to understand your specific marketing goals\, the factors that influence pricing strategy\, and all possible pricing strategies.
\nPricing is only part of the issue. \; Are you aware of the costs of your product or service? \; How much do your employees cost and how do they impact pricing? \; How do your costs behave as sales increase or decrease? \;
\nThis workshop also addresses the following questions:
\n
\n&bull\; What annual sales level is required to achieve a sustainable cash flow position?
\n&bull\; What annual or monthly sales do I need to achieve my targeted cash flow?
\n&bull\; Is it a good idea to invest in a larger or nicer facility?
\n&bull\; Should I hire full or part time employees? \; \;
\n \;
\nThis workshop is designed for entrepreneurs who are preparing business plans or financial projections. \; Information from this workshop is also helpful if you are introducing a new product or service and want a more thorough understanding of pricing strategy. \; \;
