Unless you act, your prices are going to keep going up!
Today’s post is from Dave Wenig is the Senior Vice President of Sales and Services at SafeSourcing Inc
There is always something. We have been watching as costs for everything continue to rise every month. There seems to be no end to the scary stories we are being told that seem to keep the prices rising and our wallets lighter.
One that has me particularly disappointed is the news coverage about a potential diesel shortage. The facts are minimal, and the stats are carefully selected. Comparisons are not offered nor are typical averages. The headline just tells us we are only have a 25-day supply of diesel. Of course, that is not really true. If you just look past the click bait and breathless recounting of the story, you will see it is nothing to be worried about.
What is worrisome is the effect that could have on already high prices. We all know that everything runs on diesel. America runs on diesel. That means that even a perceived shortage can spike prices (or just justify the already high prices to hold them there).
Regardless of the story and the excuse, when faced with increasing costs we must push back. Our customers have been doing that already and it is more important than ever.
