Move up your prices quickly.<\/strong> This is especially true for manufacturing companies that supply wholesalers and stores &amp; supermarkets and are not the market leader(s). But &#8211; if at all possible &#8211; don&#8217;t do this first or last. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text P1\"><strong>2. Calculate your price increase primarily as a percentage.<\/strong> If you don&#8217;t do this, your margin will decrease. If possible, ensure that you increase the price of each product by the same percentage. To do this, look at the price and margin of your most important product.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text P1\"><strong>3. Try to implement price increases as few times as possible.<\/strong> In other words: try to maximize the price increase. So, it&#8217;s better to increase by 12% all at once a bit later than to add 1% every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text P1\">If you want even more tips &amp; tricks from our business coach, world traveler, and &#8216;inflation expert&#8217; David Kleerekoper on how to deal with inflation, then read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/brilliantwork.us18.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=693dc1b16960741d5240bdb0c&amp;id=ca22aedf6d&amp;e=e8a11ad70f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-e1aad7c9\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-01a08af5\">\n<h2 class=\"gb-text H4 gb-text-c4c5a0bd\">Our clients about Brilliant Work: <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Cees Embrechts talks about his journey with Ivar.<\/mark><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-92765845\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-1eb24406\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-fb9cb954\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-b760be7f\">\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/cembrechts\/?originalSubdomain=nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cees Embrechts<\/a> of Bestowill International B.V. recently completed a coaching program with Ivar.

That might sound clich\u00e9, but it really had a lot of impact on me. Subsequently, I went looking for a business coach because I read that successful entrepreneurs make a lot of use of them. I needed help to gain some perseverance and the right mindset.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-text H7\">&#8220;Ivar helped me to get my thoughts in order.&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><em>Cees especially benefited from business coach Ivar during the times he was struggling. <em>&#8220;Sometimes I had to find the motivation or I was scared because a lot of problems were coming my way. Ivar mainly offered me perspective then. He helped me to let things go,&#8221;<\/em> Cees explains. <em>&#8220;Those were the moments I needed Ivar to get my thoughts in order.&#8221;<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><em><em>&#8220;Ivar&#8217;s method was very pragmatic. That worked well for me. I have grown as a person.  &nbsp;<strong>He knew how to reassure me, which made me feel less stress as a starting entrepreneur.
