About this Gig
"Raw material costs have risen." It is the same letter every time, and it is almost never supported by the indices.
I check the actual published index for that commodity over the period they are citing - BLS PPI, public and verifiable - work out what the pass-through should be given material as a share of their cost, and write you a rebuttal that concedes what is real and refuses what is not. Suppliers fold on this constantly, because most buyers never check.
Where the index has fallen and they are still asking, that is not a rebuttal. That is your opening to claw back last year's increase.
You get: a written rebuttal you can send with your name on it, the index evidence behind it, and a clear position on what to concede and where to hold.
17+ years negotiating this exact letter. Karrass-trained. $1.58B managed spend, $128.5M+ delivered.
Send me the letter, your current and proposed price, and the volume. Two days.
