Price for the future, not the past. It doesn't matter that it took 6 hours a month on average to manage sites the past 3 years, or merits and promos were a lot higher in 2023 than previous years, or inflation spiked the past couple years. What does matter- what's the site management process next year; what's the merit/promo budget next year; what's the inflation outlook next year (FYI- it's rapidly declining).
Most companies I work with are pricing out work to be performed over the next 1-5 years, so pricing needs to reflect how we expect to work more efficiently, use technology more productively, keep people compensated appropriately, and move the rock on profitability.
