SJD just stuffed fees up by over 10%

[d000hg]

Margin comparisons are difficult with different businesses, a margin of 57% does seem excessive?

No not really.

The majority of SJD's clients are willing to pay the fee. The small minority it seems are not. That happens when a price is increased. If the fees lost to due to defective clients exceeds the gains on the price increase then they have got it wrong. If they don't they've got it right. I suspect they'll have it right. You can say what you like about SJD and Simon but they have a hugely successful business model and I doubt they would jeopardise this for the sak of a price increase.

Exactly. As long as a 10% price increase does not result in >10% loss of clients they are ahead of the game. And if they do lose clients there are possible savings to be had anyway as they can potentially reduce headcount in light of the reduced workload.
