Price

The single most important aspect of profitability is pricing. Your offerings must be priced consistently, accurately and competitively to be successful in the marketplace.  With successful pricing, you cover the costs of your business, make a profit and secure the resources to develop your business. As the marketplace is continually changing, you should reassess prices regularly.
Pricing requires a clear understanding of each individual cost component and their impact on the total price of the offering.
