“The Price Is Right – Or Is It?”
Determining the Best Prices for Your Products and Services
Thursday January 26, 2023
12:00pm

Sylvia Lagerquist
President
Lagerquist Accounting and Advisory

Determining accurate and profitable prices for your products and services is one of the greatest challenges facing small business owners. Price too low and you won’t generate enough revenue to cover costs; price too high and you’ll miss critical opportunities to close new sales.
That’s why you need a strategic and intelligent approach to pricing. Through this program, you will learn how to determine effective prices for your products and services by:
1. Evaluating your direct and indirect costs
2. Using formulas to develop a pricing structure
3. Applying these concepts to increase profitability
The goal of this workshop is to empower you to make more strategic pricing decisions to improve profitability, something that can benefit every small business owner.
