This week, I am excited to launch a new video series about estimating and bidding.

If you are involved in figuring and pricing work, you don’t want to miss this.

In the video, I break down:

  1. Why estimating is not bidding
  2. The 9% problem
  3. Why picking margin is so hard when balancing it against the need to secure backlog
  4. What the best bidders get right every time

I was fortunate to sit down with my friend Aaron Witt recently to talk about the industry we are both fired up about, podcast link is below!
