StretchLearn Course
Find the exact point where your business turns a profit, then price to clear it with margin to spare.
Course Overview
Most small businesses set prices by copying competitors or guessing, then wonder why volume is high but the bank account is empty. This course rebuilds pricing from the cost structure up: contribution margin, break-even, target-profit pricing, and the sensitivity tests that reveal which lever (price, cost, or volume) moves profit the most. Every concept is worked with real numbers and a reusable model.
Learning Outcomes
Classify any expense as fixed, variable, or semi-variable using the high-low method
Calculate contribution margin per unit and contribution margin ratio for a product or service
Compute break-even in units and dollars, including a target-profit version
Compare cost-plus, value-based, and competitive pricing and choose the right one per situation
Build a one-page break-even model in Excel or Google Sheets with live formulas
Run sensitivity and what-if analyses to find the highest-leverage profit driver

Before you can price anything or find a break-even point, you have to know which costs change with sales and which do not. This module builds that foundation.
Turn your cost structure into the two numbers that drive every decision: contribution margin and the exact sales level where you stop losing money.
Choose deliberately among cost-plus, value-based, and competitive pricing, and combine them with psychological tactics that lift the price you can charge.
Build a live spreadsheet model, stress-test it against changing costs and prices, and turn the analysis into pricing decisions you act on.
Built for Application
This program is designed around progression: focused lessons, structured modules, applied resources, assessments, and a course rhythm that turns information into usable capability.
