When sales and accounting personnel fail to work together, the company risks becoming its industry's "dumb" competitor. Accountants involved in pricing can help the company understand the difference between "dog" and "gravy" opportunities with knowledge that directly translates into an improved profitability. You will leave this session understanding why the company with the best cost information wins!
