Price what I sell so it actually makes money

A price that covers cost plus profit, saved with the unit cost so margins are tracked from day one.

What to ask

Price my first offer with me. Use what I learned about what people pay today, work out my real unit costs, and land on a price that covers cost plus profit — not what feels comfortable. Then save it in my catalog with the cost so my margins are tracked from day one, and write what I sell and what it costs into my Products/Services plan section, recording the price and unit cost as assumptions.
