Your Margin Will Always Go Down — Here's How to Protect It from Day One
Description
#69 I'm currently working with a founder who has two SKUs running below zero margin. The product sells. It just costs more to make than they charge for it. In this episode, I walk through exactly how that happens — ingredient inflation, hidden co-manufacturing costs, and how to build a pricing structure that can absorb years of pressure from day one.
