The Price is Right... Right? COGS, Margins, & Profitable Pricing

Is your business making bank or barely getting by?

Money makes the world go ‘round, but how do you know if your business is actually making money?

It all starts with your COGS, or “Cost of Goods Sold”. Knowing how much your product costs to make and how much your business really needs to earn in order to break even is the first step towards setting a profitable price and determining whether your business is financially viable.

But… how do you know your COGS? What about the impact of tariffs and constantly changing prices? How do you account for inflation?

Rebellious Resources has the answers! Join us for The Price is Right… Right? In this live virtual workshop, we take you step-by-step through calculating COGS, your operating expenses, and how to determine your real profit margin. We’ll also look at where “hidden expenses” can eat into your budget, helping you to decide if a business, product, or event is really worth investing in.

While this workshop primarily focuses on product-based businesses, we also discuss how to evaluate profitability in service-based businesses, and many of the principles apply to both.

During this workshop, you will learn:

💲 How to calculate COGS and SG&As

💲 Determining gross and net profit margins

💲 Accounting for variability and “hidden costs”

💲 Evaluating the profitability and viability of your business, service, or product

You don’t leave empty handed! We work through real life examples that you can apply to your own business. This live workshop includes:

• Interactive activities,
• Q&A sessions, and
• A workbook to keep honing your skills.

Got an unconventional business? No problem! If you’ve found that traditional business classes do not adapt their offerings to suit businesses outside of the mainstream, then you’ve come to the right place. So long as it’s legal and ethical, we welcome the weird, woo, and WTF?!

About Your Host

Rayna is the founder of Rebellious Resources. She is a huge fan of boundaries and fierce financial advocate who spent nearly 25 years freelancing in Technical Theater (where the backstage magic happens). She also owned her own artisan preserves company, and has more than a few stories to tell.

Rayna has channeled all that knowledge, experience, and energy into disrupting Money Culture. Let's face it - society has always been very specific about who is allowed to have, keep, use, and grow money. There are a few folks at the top and everyone else is under their control. It's time to change that dynamic and create more inclusive financial discussions!

Rebellious Resources offers classes, coaching, and consultation to help individuals and small business owners build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take control of their financial future.
