How to Quote Profitably and Efficiently • VIDEO 2/4

February 22, 2017 | By Renée Francoeur



Are you a contractor who is constantly struggling to quote profitably? Do you know what margins you need to make a desirable profit from your quote?

If you think you just need to include your material cost and labour when you quote—disregarding your overhead expenses—you are making a massive error! This could equate to losing between $10K to over $100K!

SPECIAL Thank You to Schneider Electric. By stepping up to support our delivery of these training sessions, Schneider Electric shows how deeply committed it is to YOU and your success as a trades business owner.

About 94% of contractors are not pricing properly and, in the end, they’re working hard for nothing. Don’t let that be you! WATCH the RECORDING (above).
