Running a successful business includes knowing how to make a profit, and not just making sales. Do you know how to determine if you're truly making a profit? If not, the Estimating and Understanding the Cost of Doing Business seminar session at Glass Expo Rocky Mountain 2006 is for you.

The seminar, led by Lyle Hill, president of MTH Industries in Chicago, will help attendees understand the cost of doing business, including the hidden expenses that frequently are overlooked, dealing with change orders and other problem areas that can trap business owners. Attendees will also learn to how to put together or decipher bids, calculate costs and know where cuts can be made.

Companies are invited to submit financial statements (with all identifying information removed) prior to the start of the show and have their overhead and financial ratios calculated during the seminar.

Glass Expo Rocky Mountain 2006, scheduled for January 19-20, 2006 at the Holiday Inn at Denver International Airport, also offers auto glass seminars, a separate track of management seminars and, of course, the Glass Expo Rocky Mountain tradeshow. The event is co-sponsored by the Colorado Glazing Contractors Association and USGlass, AGRR, WINDOW FILM, Door & Window Manufacturer and SHELTER magazines.
