Increase Sales and Profits with Pricing and Distribution Strategies

You’ve developed a wonderful new product or service and understand the costs, but how should you price it? This workshop is part of SCORE’s Small Business Essentials series.

The rest of the workshop focuses on pricing, starting with some basic pricing concepts. Then SCORE reviews a detailed process to help you determine the price of your product. Since pricing a service is very different than a product, they have a special section that covers the separate process for pricing your services. Price: $10.00. A SCORE webinar.
