Episode notes
Increase Prices Immediately
- Raise prices now and track contribution margin, not revenue.
- Even small increases can double profits while often reducing returns and support load.
Avocado/Orange Price-Change Example
- A $3M business with 10% margin raised prices 15% and saw revenue fall 10% but profit more than double.
- The owner did less work and achieved a much higher net profit immediately.
Announce Price Hikes Proactively
- Communicate price increases to customers ahead of time and offer a short pre-increase window.
- Use urgency to reward existing buyers and reduce backlash.
