About this episode
This episode discusses five rules for cleaner pricing and the simplicity of estimating in business.
Years ago, I sat having drinks with an account executive after a big medical convention at the Anatole in Dallas. I had 40 or 50 crew members there from my staffing company, and we'd just finished settling the bill. I asked him about his pricing strategy. He pulled a pen from his pocket, held it up, and said, "This is what makes money." This week's Monday Morning Drive post covers five rules for cleaner pricing and why estimating comes down to two numbers, not 15. https://www.trstimson.com/your-pricing-isnt-as-honest-as-you-think/
