Service based business can be the most difficult in which to measure profitability.  All kinds of issues can impact the difference between what is charged to a client and the cost of delivering the service.<br />
<br />
The most challenging types of services are those engagements that are ‘fixed quote’, involving a ‘scope’ of services.  These are becoming more prevalent as clients become savvy and there is more competition. <br />

			<title><![CDATA[The Value of Getting Your Costing Right - CAD Partners]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Value of Getting Your Costing Right</span><br />
<br />
Firstly what is ‘Costing’? <br />
<br />
If you sell a product, it’s the cost of buying the product, plus preparing it for sale e.g. freight, storage, currency exchange, importation etc.  <br />
<br />
This excludes overheads e.g. rent, admin wages etc.<br />
<br />
If you sell a service or jobs, it’s the cost of direct labour i.e. those who deliver the service and materials.  As per products it excludes overheads.<br />
<br />
If you manufacture goods it’s the costs of raw materials, labour, equipment, storage etc. as per selling a product.<br />
<br />
Costing, or costs are sometimes referred to as Direct Costs, Cost of Goods Sold, Variable Costs in management reports.<br />
<br />
It’s important to understand what are all the costs associated with a product or service, because you need to know that you’re making a reasonable margin i.e. the difference between sell price and cost price.  <br />
<br />
A reasonable margin covers overheads and contributes to profit.<br />
It’s sometimes considered that selling more volume i.e. more product or service will fix lack of profit and cash flow.<br />

Understand the features Xero has to offer and learn how easy it is to use Xero for your business. This is a general overview of Xero for business owners and their staff, with an opportunity to ask questions.<br />
Xero is an online accounting solution that gives you daily information about where your business is at - without all the hassle of getting the data in there. Some of the things CFO On-Call thinks you will like are:<br />
<br />
•Daily automated bank feeds - so your bank statement just shows up.<br />
•A dashboard showing your bank balance, who owes you, and who you owe.<br />
•Your Accountant can log in and help you out if you need.<br />
<br />
CFO On-Call and Xero are running short webinars on June 24th, July 5th &amp; 6th to show you first hand how Xero works. <br />
So from the comfort of your desk, you can see how easy it is to now have real-time financial information.<br />

With members reporting that visitors referred to their websites from iLandscape.com.au are staying for an average of up to four (4) times longer and visiting 3 times more pages on their own sites than other web based directories and referral companies<br />
<br />
Our proven effective marketing plan with Television, Radio and Print Media as well as our powerful online presence as Australia’s Premier Online Landscaping Directory has demonstrated a growth of more than 20% per month on new visitors and more on new members consistently joining the site. <br />
<br />
Online marketing is the way of the future and with our ever committed team of iLandscape members we will continue to grow in the Landscaping Industry. Our directory is capped and only licensed contractors can become members so you are quoting on the same level as other reputable licensed members, not unlicensed landscaping contractors.<br />
<br />
During this year iLandscape members will benefit from a series of FREE locally held Workshops that run for approximately 60 minutes with guest speakers on issues such as;<br />
<br />
•	Licensing - BSA<br />
•	Correct Business Practices - Master Builders Association<br />
•	Workplace Health &amp; Safety -  Sunshine Coast Safety Solutions <br />
•	Debt recovery - Queensland Consumer Administrative Tribunal<br />
<br />
Members are also invited to display their latest landscaping products at all workshops and a FREE Sausage sizzles and soft drinks will also be available. For more information on these great workshops or to book a spot contact us on events@ilandscape.com.au <br />
<br />
iLandscape.com.au is not only assisting its members with reduced marketing and effective ways of winning more work but educational workshops and assistance with the day to day running of their businesses<br />
<br />
If you have questions or concerns with what is happening in your business or the industry in general let us know and we can begin the process of working together to "Build a Better Landscaping Industry"<br />
<br />
At iLandscape this year our website will undergo constant development to improve features that members can expect. We will be releasing new features on the site every month and we will notify you as these developments take place. <br />
<br />
As of May this year and continuing indefinitely members will begin to see some massive benefits in exposure from Television Advertisements as well as professionally produced landscaping videos and documentaries that will not only be run on Commercial Television but online as well through Scapetube TV.  <br />
<br />
If you would like more information on what we can do for your company please don’t hesitate in contacting me at any time direct, either on mob 0459 150 799 or via email at <a href="mailto:jason@ilandscape.com.au">jason@ilandscape.com.au</a>  <br />
