The Pricing ReviewFour weeks · prices and margins, product by product

Most businesses are underpriced on the products customers love and overpriced on the ones they tolerate. In four weeks, every product gets a number, a margin and a decision.

Week 1
True cost and margin of every product and service, including the costs nobody counts.
Week 2
Customer and competitor price research: what people pay, what they would pay, and why.
Week 3
The range: what to raise, what to cut, what to bundle and what to launch.
Week 4
Your new price list, the profit it adds, and how to roll it out without losing customers.

  • Margin on every productA clear table you keep and update.

  • A profit modelWhat the new prices add, month by month.

Off-market sourcingRestaurants, hotels, fincas and estates in Mallorca, found privately for the buyer
1. Brief
What you want, where, your budget, how you will use it and when. Under a mutual NDA from the first message.
2. Search
Jamie works the network quietly: owners, operators, landlords, investors, interior designers and suppliers across the island. Nothing is advertised and nobody is told who you are.
3. Shortlist
Only opportunities that fit the brief, each with a first look at the numbers: trading history, margins, lease, licences and what it really costs to run.
4. Approach
A discreet introduction to the owner, and negotiation on your side of the table.
5. Completion
The purchase completes through your lawyer and notary, with your gestor on tax, and a registered estate agent where the law requires one.
6. Day one
Introductions to the operators, interior designers, builders and suppliers to open, reposition or run it. If you want more, the Opening Plan and the Turnaround pick up from there.
