FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Until recently, courts treated minimum resale price policies differently from those setting maximum resale prices. But in 2007, the Supreme Court determined that all manufacturer-imposed vertical price programs should be evaluated using a rule of reason approach. According to the Court, "Absent vertical price restraints, the retail services that enhance interbrand competition might be underprovided. This is because discounting retailers can free ride on retailers who furnish services and then capture some of the increased demand those services generate." Note that this change is in federal standards; some state antitrust laws and international authorities view minimum price rules as illegal, per se.

Estimating Starts With Good Plans Any estimator must know how to read plans. And they must have a good set of plans to work from. Without a good set of plans, it is virtually impossible to know if the customer's idea of what they want to be done matches your understanding of what they want to be done. It is almost guaranteed that your concept of the job will differ from the customer's without a good set of plans.
