Managing Price Increases: Sales AI Prompts

Price increases are scary. If you do them wrong, you churn customers. If you do them right, you just reset the value expectation. This template focuses on *value*. It's not 'prices are up'; it's 'our product has evolved, and here is how it's now more valuable.' By linking the increase to value, you minimize pushback.
