Annual Fee increases

Posted by thomas PM | on Sun, 06/01/2013 - 09:54 2176 25 comments | report

I've had some clients now about 12 months and need to think about increasing the fees to at least keep pace with inflation.

How do I do this?

Do I need to justify the increase? Im only thinking say 5%

Does anyone have a standard letter/wording that they would share?

Im nervous as I dont want to upset my clients but I believe I need to create an expectation that the fees will increase modestly each year.

What increases are you doing this year? How are you justifying this?

Thanks
