In the high-speed world of business, the ultimate quest is for profit. But making a profit is more than just selling — it’s about strategic decisions and expert quoting.
Gross Profit Percentage
Key to your victory is Gross Profit Percentage, or GP%, a true measure of how sales exceed the cost of goods sold.
To Calculate:
Gross Profit Percentage = (Sales Revenue – COGS) / Sales Revenue x 100
Every thriving business sets sails toward achieving specific GP% goals. When quoting your prices, having GP% in focus ensures you’ll not just cover costs but hit your profitability bullseye.
Stay vigilant on the budget front. Overhead costs, like rent, utilities and salaries can slowly drift, sinking your profit margins if left unchecked.
Keep in mind, a price hike isn’t always the key; every market’s heartbeat is different. Your power lies in operational finesse and cost-savvy moves.
So what’s the strategy?
Know every dollar and cent that flows through your product or service. Set realistic GP% targets. Watch over those overheads closely. And always be nimble, adjusting your sails to the market winds. Innovate and optimise without compromising the quality your customers trust.
Blending the art of quoting with the science of GP% doesn’t just lead to profit — it paves the road to a lasting business legacy.
