Kevin Gurski of SGI shares negotiating strategies you can utilize to drive your costs down every single year to maximize your profit.
Everyone tends to focus on topline revenue numbers and how many trucks you put on the road. What truly matters in business is your bottom line. What’s your net profit? One of the fastest ways to add an additional 1, 2, or even 3% to that bottom line every year is to become a master negotiator with your vendors. SGI’s Partner Network’s Kevin Gurski shares strategies he’s learned over his almost 15 years in negotiating with the biggest and most well-known brands in the contracting industry.
