Description

Three things can happen in pricing, and two of them are bad. Overpriced products are a missed opportunity whereas underpriced products give away your products at a loss. When sales and accounting personnel fail to work together, the company risks becoming its industry's 'dumb' competitor. Accountants involved pricing can help the company understand the difference between 'dog' and 'gravy' opportunities with knowledge that directly translates into an improved bottom line. You will leave this session understanding why the company with the best cost information wins!
