Supplier Increase Response

A price increase letter is an opening position with a letterhead on it — price the exposure before you answer, and never absorb a permanent cost as a temporary favour.

What it is

The letter that arrives on a Tuesday and quietly removes a year of margin, handled as a negotiation instead of a reflex. Reads what is being asked and whether the contract permits it, prices the exposure down to the lines that stop being worth making, fixes the target and the walk-condition, then produces the reply, the verdict, the pass-through timing and the file that sees the next one coming. For owners, buyers and finance leads taking someone else's rise.

What you receive

the supplier's price increase answered as a negotiation rather than a reflex — what is really being asked and whether the contract permits it, the exposure in annual currency, in margin per line and in the lines that stop being viable, the target and walk-condition fixed before you reply, the reply letter itself, the costed levers and priced switch, and the verdict with its pass-through timing, written confirmation and early warning
