Ep 325. We Raised Out Prices, Lost Customers and Still Won!
About this episode
We're officially expanding into North Jersey with a new branch of Coastal Fertilization—and it's been an eye-opening process. From a slower start in a new market to seeing competitor pricing that honestly doesn't make sense, this episode is a real-time look at what's actually happening behind the scenes. But the biggest takeaway? We raised our prices by 7% this year. And yes—we lost customers. Almost exactly the percentage we raised. But now? We're replacing them with better customers at better prices.
In this episode, I break down:
-
Why raising your prices is necessary to grow
-
What cheap pricing is really costing you
-
How pricing reflects your brand and service
-
Why you need to raise the bar if you raise your prices
If you've been hesitant to raise your prices… this is your sign.
