Manage your contract prices

Overview

Reviewing your contract data in Readysell on a regular basis can help you maintain profitability.

The intention of this session is to show you practical ways to monitor and improve the GP you are getting from contracts. We have picked the top few tips and included them in this session. There are a lot of additional things you can do in addition to those listed here, we can't get through them all here. We will look at some in later sessions.

To get any outcome from this session, you have to control your time to implement the processes below on a weekly and monthly basis. Just running the reports when you remember will not work. The only way in which this will work is if you:

understand what to do
make it somebody's responsibility to implement those procedures on a regular basis
check occasionally that the processes are being followed
contact Readysell if change of staff or other factors cause those checks to stop working for you

Readysell is happy to produce any amount of documentation or training videos to help you and your team with your training. If you want any documentation improvements, please let us know.
