This episode is a dialogue between Giovanni and Melanie. It's a business-related episode about the increasing cost of making things in a business. Let’s get started.
Giovanni: There are no two ways about it. We have to raise prices.
Melanie: We can’t. We already raised prices earlier this year. Doing it again risks alienating our customers.
Giovanni: What else can we do? Our production costs have risen nearly 15 percent. We’ve tried absorbing them and offsetting them, but nothing has worked.
