Hey,
I am thinking of raising my percentage rates by 1%. This would be because of the rising costs due to the current economy but also because I am shorting myself almost $500.
How do you handle raising your rates without angering your clients too much? I have a short note I have written up but haven't sent it yet.
Tell me what you think and be completely honest. I want to send it on Monday Oct 31st so they can have a full 30 days to adjust to this.
The note says: "I am writing you to inform you that I will be increasing my rate by 1% effective December 1, 2022. This increase is due to the rising costs of living. I am truly sorry for this."
Thank you.
Shelby
