In these economic times, every bid counts. Careful tracking, management, and analysis of the estimating process can provide significant information that will help you estimate more effectively. This workshop focuses on using Microsoft Excel as a simple and widely available technology to help manage the estimating process.

In this workshop, we will examine a way to quantify the profit value of improving your current estimating process. In addition, we will look at how the estimating process can be tracked and managed using a Microsoft Excel template that quickly provides accurate information as to the success of your bidding by customer, job type, job size, and more. We will discuss and provide ways to use this information to improve your chances of winning a profitable job with each estimate you do.

All participants in this workshop will receive several Microsoft Excel templates that they may modify and use in their own business.

If you don’t have time to make it to the ASA Chicago office, this workshop is available via GoToMeeting. You will need a computer connected to the internet and a phone to join the meeting.

Fee: $45 for members of ASA, $65 for non-members
