More about our toolkit:
How do you track your sales monthly & annually?
Do you know what % of your overall sales come from individual products? Or, what % of sales come from your various sales channels? Or, what is your annual revenue and cost of goods sold per product?
When I first started my business and was asked these questions, I gave a blinking eyes / open mouthed stare. As Creatives, our skills mostly lie in the talents that we have grown in our creative professions. Hey, ask me about Illustrator, Alias, my favorite textile supplier or tape measure - I got that no problmeo!
In the past six years, growing my business, Goods that Matter, I have honed my business skills as well as my creative skills. I have also greatly improved my sales tracking and product pricing tools. My sales tracking worksheets recently went through an awesome overhaul to provide many new features including: both monthly and annual totals per product and sales channel, transaction fees, sales tax, style per product tracking, & % of sales per product and sales channel, profits after costs of goods sold, booth fees, and more.
I realized that these tools would be useful to others & that I could help save you time too, my fellow creative friends, as well as a whole lot of frustration and money. I am so excited to share these business tools with you!
Each business is unique, I kept this in mind while creating these tools so that they meld well with many types of creative businesses. I also know firsthand that Excel can be difficult to use at first and have included many easy shortcuts so that it makes it easiest for you to enter your info into these amazing worksheets!
Check out this link to see all that our toolkit has to offer (regular price $55) & I so look forward to working with you on the 20th at Propeller!
