Pricing Lists

[Cubik]

Hey there, I'm struggling to make a price list, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

If your business was new, and taking on your first employee, you didn't have anything like SalesForce or a fancy CRM, how would you give that employee a list of your costs?

Would you just make a excel sheet and list it all out?
Or, is there a system out there for a internal price list thing?

A price list of what? Paper clips, bricks, milk, aggregate, insurance, wages?

Or do you mean costs for a quote? If so, quoting for what?

Another possible question would be if you don't currently have a list of costs how are you running your business

Is this a serious question?

how would you give that employee a list of your costs?

I wouldn't,

I would supply them a list of selling prices, clearly identifying volume breaks, conditions etc.

In line with other responses, it depends entirely on the complexity, breadth and flexibility of what you are selling.

If you have 10 items at fixed price - a word document or reference to your website (if they have a particularly poor memory)

If there are multiple items and lots of price flexibility Excell or matrix.

The system is called “cost accounting” and may include “standard costing” and “pricing”.

The selling price may be determined by numerous factors of which the cost may be one of them. The various cost accounting methods will gather cost information of cost “objects” helping in the establishment of budgets, standard costs and actual costs of processes, activities and products. Some of the techniques employed in determining these are easier than others.

Once you have determined the costs the medium in which you want to display such information is entirely upto you; although a printed sheet would normally suffice.
