Are you charging what you're worth?


One of the biggest challenges small business owners face is pricing products and services confidently. Price too low, and you leave money on the table. Price too high, and you worry about losing customers.


Join the Hampton Roads Small Business Development Center for their next Lunch & Learn, Pricing for Profit, as Jerry Mathis shares a practical pricing framework to help you:

• Understand your true costs

• Price based on value—not guesswork

• Stay competitive while improving profitability

• Build confidence in your pricing strategy


Whether you're just starting out or looking to increase your margins, this session will provide practical tools you can put to work immediately.
