Define what

Too Expensive

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the pricepoint associated with a product or service can vary significantly depending on the specific business and its location. However, some tips on how to tell if a supplier is too expensive can include checking to see if their prices are equivalent to those of similar providers in the same area, researching alternative suppliers who may offer similar services at cheaper rates, or asking your customer whether they are willing to pay a lower price for the same quality product or service.

List 5 factors that can increase the price of a product or service

1. The price of the product or service is too high compared to similar products or services on the market.

2. The price of the product or service is too high compared to what the supplier expects to earn from the sale.

3. The supplier is charging an excessive amount for freight, overhead, and other costs associated with supplying the product or service.

4. The supplier is not using all available resources to produce as much product or service as possible, resulting in reduced quality and/or quantity.

5. There are no incentives for the supplier to lower prices, as they may see little benefit in doing so (perhaps because they are making a large margin).
