Why Costing for Competitiveness Training?

Calculating optimal product/service prices requires striking a delicate balance. Miscalculate, and your prices could be too low to cover the associated costs, or too high to remain in the running with target customers. This workshop is an instructive, hands-on opportunity to learn strategies for determining costs, understanding the true value of your offerings, and apply that knowledge to maximize profit margins.

The DVIRC Difference

Learn step-by-step activities required to translate financial information into the accurate costs that become winning quotes.

DVIRC provides a pre-formatted, sample spreadsheet for participants to follow on a laptop, tablet, or the classroom screen. This unique “sample company” approach allows us to illustrate the key calculations needed to create the work center rates that will support successful quoting.

More than 100 area manufacturers have already successfully learned the DVIRC Costing & Pricing methodology and are now able to price their products and quote jobs successfully and with confidence that they are capturing all of the necessary costs.

Benefits of Costing for Competitiveness Training
