The past years were characterized by extreme market conditions: raw material price explosions, logistics bottlenecks, geopolitical uncertainties, and inflationary trends led to a sellers' market in which suppliers often enforced disproportionate price increases. Now markets have stabilized somewhat and it is time to renegotiate prices fairly. This requires effective preparation and follow-up for price negotiations.
