UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM
When discussing a price increase in a business-to-business environment, it is important to remember that our customers have probably had to have the same discussion with their own customers. A company exists only as long as it earns a profit and it can only do that if it delivers a quality product or service at the right price. This means that the key to any conversation about raising the price is to emphasize that such an increase will ensure product quality.
As you begin to prepare your strategy for communicating a price increase, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Does the customer take your product/service and add a standard percentage increase in price when selling to their customers?
If this is the case, you can point out that your customer will make more money by taking a standard percentage of a higher amount.2. What percentage of the customer’s business is your product/service?
If the percentage is small, tell them that the amount of increase is only a small percentage of their total business. If the percentage is great, then you can emphasize that the price increase is necessary to maintain the level of product quality necessary for them to serve their customers.3. Has the customer faced any other price increases from other vendors?
If so, try to identify what some percentages of the other increases have been. If yours falls into the low end, then you can point out how your increase is comparatively smaller than that of many others. If your increase is at the high end, you can either explain how yours is the only one you expect to take or that you wouldn't be surprised to see others coming back to take another round of price increases.4. How does the customer view you and the products/services you sell?
If you have a quality reputation and record, then you can emphasize that the increase has been carefully thought through and it is only being taken to ensure continued quality. If you have a spotty record with the customer, then you should stress how the price increase will allow you to begin addressing some of the issues in question by allowing you to improve the overall quality of service they have been receiving. Naturally, it is important to make sure all comments are backed with a commitment to follow-through.5. Will the customer raise an issue with the price increase?
Be prepared to show documentation of how your costs have escalated and how other companies are experiencing the same increases. (An example is the increasing cost of oil, which has forced any company that uses petroleum in the manufacturing or transportation of goods to most likely increase prices.)When having this discussion, be sure to show empathy for the customer, but remain firm in what you're saying. If the customer senses any hesitation on your part, they will likely try to exploit it in the form of a price concession from you.
Also, be prepared to share steps that your company has taken in an attempt to avoid a price increase. This can include ways you've already cut costs or how the price increase is the only way to maintain the quality and service the customer expects. A final point to emphasize is the time lag between this price increase and the previous increase. Having information available concerning the rate of inflation during that specific time period may also help diffuse the issue.
6. Why does the customer buy from you anyway?
Knowing this will allow you to reinforce these points when talking about the price increase. You should also have ready at least two key needs of the customer that your product or service satisfies. Be sure all of your strategic information about the customer is up-to-date before a price increase is announced.7. How much business is at risk from the customer?
We can sometimes get carried away thinking that if we raise prices, we'll lose the customer, even though this is rarely the case. Think through what steps the customer would have to take to move to another vendor. Many times the work involved in moving is not worth the effort, and thus the business is less at risk than thought.Now that you have a price increase strategy mapped out, let's have a look at actually presenting the price increase to your customers. On the next page, Mark Hunter presents tips for presenting a price increase.
COMMENT: If the price increase, we as a consumer have to make sure that every time we want go for a shopping, we have already list down what are the important things that we have to buy. Avoid from buy unnecessary things because it full of wastage.

VACATIONS.. YOKK.. =)
2. WARDS OFF BURN OUT. Vacations give you time to relax, de-stress and let go. Constant stress on the job lead to burn out. Refreshing our mind make us feel more comfortable and give more spirit in doing our work.
3. INCREASE OUR CREATIVITY. Many of my friends tell me that when they are going to bed at night, millions of new ideas pop into their heads. Vacations set the stage for letting ideas flow during and after your time off.
4. FAMILY OR SELF TIME. When I was 11 years old, my parents took me on a trip to visit my relatives in Batu Feringgi, Pulau Pinang. It was a long drive from Kelantan but to this day I remember it as a wonderful experience. A vacation allows you to spend quality time with your family compare to our self.
5. A REST FOR YOUR BODY AND MIND. Refreshing your mind and let go of daily tasks. Relax for something new one if gives your mind a rest and if you have a new work you MUST gives your body rest too! Allows your body to have a rest. Many physical illness come from a lack of down time and stress.
6. GET APPRECIATION. It is nice to be missed and frequently when someone is on vacation those who work with him or her suddenly realize how much that person does and how valuable he/she is to the organization. But if you discover that you were not missed, then it have something wrong. Try to find what actually happen and increase your value of work.
7. APPRECIATE YOUR JOB. At the end of the vacation, you will feel really energized and excited to get back to your environment of your work. Of course because you love your job. If you find yourself dreaming going back, you need to find out what the problem is and get it resolved.
8. TIME TO THINK ABOUT CAREER. Research of the Wisconsin Medical Journal reports shows that vacations help employees do a better job. Vacations give people time to think. For students, they will do a better job after go back from vacation. Thinking about the meaningful of work gives some criteria for a new job.
9. THINK WISELY. Vacations allow you to think about what makes you happy and what the meaning of work.
10. EXPANDS THE MIND. Vacations give you time to see, hear or read something new. Whether you take a trip, go to concerts or get caught up on your reading, vacations give you the space to do something that it’s different and new. A change in routine gives you all sorts of new possibilities.
