[SupplierName] price increase hitting you too?
[FirstName],
Saw [SupplierName] announced [PercentageIncrease]% price hikes effective [Date]—that's hitting everyone in [Industry] who sources [MaterialOrComponent].
Most manufacturers are either:
1. Eating the margin hit (not sustainable past Q[Quarter])
2. Passing costs to customers (losing deals to competitors who haven't yet)
3. Scrambling for alternative suppliers (quality inconsistency nightmare)
[ClientInSameIndustry] faced the same squeeze when [TheirSupplier] raised prices [Timeframe] ago. We helped them redesign [SpecificProcess] and qualify [AlternativeSource]. Cut their [ComponentType] costs by [Percentage]% and actually improved [QualityMetric].
Worth 20 minutes to discuss options before you're forced into a corner?
