Business owners all over the country are feeling the effects of inflation in their organizations. The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to simply “wait it out.” The truth is many business owners are facing a tough choice… continue watching their profit margins diminish until they’re forced to close their doors or increase their pricing.
But how can business owners raise their rates without losing customers?
In this episode, I detail the necessary steps to increase your
pricing without scaring away your customers. I explain the
importance of quantifying your changes with real data,
communicating increases with your sales team, and following up with
customers after the increase has taken place. Additionally, I look
at why timing is critical to successfully executing a price
increase.
