Meeting preparation checklist
Tick items as you review them. Selections stay in the current page and are not saved or sent. They do not certify readiness.
A fictional example
Fictional example: a quote is ₹1,00,000 and identified variable costs are ₹75,000. Its apparent contribution is ₹25,000. If the seller also bears ₹5,000 incremental delivery cost omitted from the first working, contribution becomes ₹20,000 before fixed costs. Figures use a consistent tax basis. The example does not determine an appropriate selling price.
Questions for the meeting
- Which assumptions are supported by records and which are estimates?
- What could change before the order is completed?
- What needs to be resolved, by whom, before the quotation is approved?
