Pricing for Profit 

“Pricing For Profit” is a lot more than just a catchy phrase. Many businesses set their selling prices by simply copying what their competitors charge. While this might work, this will often lead to losses and not profits for any individual company. In order to Price for Profit, a company needs to know their costs – both variable and fixed costs. But, they also need to know what the market will pay for a given product and what their competitors are charging. After all of these factors have been reviewed, a reasonable price structure can be established.

Selling your product at the right price is one of the more important Keys to Success in Business. In this workshop, the presenter will go over the basics of understanding your costs of doing business and relate these costs to an understanding of Gross Profit, Margin and Markup. With this information, you should be in a much better position to put the RIGHT PRICE on your product or service.

How to Use the Internet in Your Business 

So, everyone else has a website, why don’t you?  This seminar will review the various roles that a website can support in enhancing your business.  These range from serving simply as a quickly and widely accessible marketing brochure, to providing more mechanisms allowing customers to communicate their needs easily and effectively, to becoming your very inexpensive, primary “storefront”.  We will demystify much of the gobbledygook and walk you through an eight-step process of key activities needed to allow you to quickly leverage this technology in almost any business.
