Pricing as a Professional

Pricing as a Professional

2 hrs. Online Course

Level: Intermediate

Item#: RV-5699a

SME: David Turner

This will not be a course in accounting.  It will not rely on technical terms. It will be a common-sensical look at pricing with a keen eye to being practical and usable, using experienced-based methods. 

This 2-hour interactive online course provides an in-depth look at the elements of pricing that you as a contractor must consider if you are to operate on a successful professional level. Though the more prevalent common standard pricing considerations will be touched upon, the primary thrust of this course is to also consider the full panoply of pricing factors, including subjective and judgemental elements, that you must be aware of and use, if you are to be successful.  This is a practical look, from an experienced contractors point of view, of often overlooked, but nevertheless important elements, that strongly influence your bottom line, and, perhaps, your ultimate success as a contractor. This course is written from the point of view of a contractor, but it contains information useful to many different professionals who deal with pricing issues. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. 
Vector Solutions has a long history of providing industry-specific content for its customers. While this course and its content remain accurate and functional within our systems, the look and feel may not match our more modern offerings.

  • Apply less well known considerations when pricing.
  • Utilize subjective considerations when pricing.
  • Describe how the nature of the customer may influence pricing.

Mr. Turner graduated from the University of Chattanooga with a B.A. in Psychology. He has worked in the construction industry since 1957 when he began working part-time with his father. Later, he started his own company, and was licensed as a Florida state certified residential contractor in 1987. He is also a Florida state certified roofing contractor. Both licenses are current.

Through the years, he has worked on construction projects in Florida, South Carolina, and in various parts of the Caribbean, including St. Croix and St. Thomas.

When Florida instituted the continuing education requirements for contractors, he became a provider, teaching continuing education courses. The courses have been well received by contractors.
