True Margin Consulting Information

At True Margin Consulting, we help manufacturers quote better, faster, and more profitably. With nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in plastics, machining, and contract manufacturing, we know the challenges that small and mid-sized shops face when it comes to accurate costing, margin protection, and winning new business. Too often, quoting is rushed, inconsistent, or based on guesswork—leading to lost margin, underpricing, or missed opportunities. We work directly with owners, estimators, and sales teams to bring clarity and discipline to the process. Our expertise includes: ✔ Auditing and updating overhead rates to reflect true costs ✔ Streamlining and centralizing quoting across multiple plants or teams ✔ Building custom quoting spreadsheets and systems that are fast and reliable ✔ Applying margin tiers and efficiency factors to protect profitability ✔ Expanding supplier networks to reduce “no quotes” and improve competitiveness ✔ Training staff on best practices for quoting and cost estimating We partner with $10M–$50M manufacturers who need practical, actionable improvements—not just theory. Our approach is hands-on, data-driven, and designed to create immediate impact. When quoting is done right, it doesn’t just win jobs—it builds stronger customer relationships, stabilizes profitability, and positions your company for growth. 👉 Let’s make quoting your competitive advantage.
