February 21, 2022 028: Navigating Rising Costs and Price Increases In Your Business
Book More Birthdays Paid Course: https://www.michelecaruana.com/bookmorebirthdayswithads
Last episode, I talked about how to find potential opportunities to decrease some of your costs, especially if your business model has shifted at all since opening and your volume is different than expected.
But what happens if you can’t decrease a specific price? Or, worse yet, what if you are facing price INCREASES?
In this episode I share how to know when you need to raise prices, and how to go about it in a way that will upset your customers the LEAST (remember, you can never please everyone).

FREE 14-DAY Active Campaign Trial: https://bit.ly/3rjp5bP
Since you are likely MOST in touch with your accountant and/or bookkeeper this time of year (hello tax season!) use this opportunity to create an exit strategy and transition plan-- because you truly NEVER know when or why you may want to sell or exit your business. In this episode I discuss updating the valuation of your assets, what a buyer will want to see, what reports you should be generating monthly-- and more-- to ensure you get the MOST profit possible from a sale.
P.S. If you are thinking about selling- hire a broker to help! But this is more regarding what to do BEFORE you are seriously considering selling!
