Inside the kit

A quote, a product price and a reality check.

The workbook separates the price shown to a customer from the actual cost and net result. That makes it easier to see where a job or product needs attention.

Designed for clarity

Useful before the first order. More useful after ten.

The workbook is deliberately small enough to understand. It focuses on the decisions that most often disappear from a simple material-plus-markup price.

01

Start with a margin

Work backward from target profit instead of applying an arbitrary multiplier to direct cost.

02

Keep costs visible

Material, remakes, machine use, setup, labor, packaging and channel fees stay separate.

03

Review the result

Record actual payouts and costs so the next quote can be based on evidence rather than memory.
