SUMMARY:DCBN Masterclass - how to raise prices without losing customers!
DESCRIPTION:With national minimum wage rising by another 10% in April and the cost of everything else rising significantly\, now is the time of year when most of us are planning a price increase. But what often holds us back is the fear that we’ll lose lots of customers!

With the templates you need and real world guidance on how to make it a less risky process. By the end of the session\, you’ll be prepared\, you’ll have a plan and you’ll know that you CAN raise prices without losing customers and take your business forward knowing it will be profitable and sustainable for the year ahead.
