The Economy is in a Bad Way – So Put Up Your Prices
January 13th, 2009I love Stompernet launches. In the future, they will be written about in launch method text books, if text books still exist then! Their free material is as good as their paid material. You can sign up to the free ride and jump off whenever you like!
But good advice is not always common sense. Should you really be putting up your prices in a recession? This seems counter-intuitive to me. It will depend on your business of course. At least consider this suggestion from Super-Consultant Paul Lemberg, the brains behind FormulaFive. There is certainly everything to be said for valuing yourself. How can you expect your customers to value you, if you don’t value yourself?
The Stompernet launch series of videos has business building strategies and tactics that, if you have a business, you should not miss learning about and taking action on. You may not like to hear that you could be the biggest problem in your business but you should hear this nevertheless! The videos contain simple actions that you can use today to increase your profits in 2009. Don’t delay! These videos will only be available for a few more days up to launch date.
True to Stompernet’s overdelivery launch philosophy, there’s also an MBA in a box report – 96-Pages of “Plug In – Get Paid” projects that you should be able to complete quickly. As I’ve said before, there is little value in gaining knowledge unless this knowledge is easy enough for you to take action on. And with Web businesses in particular, it is a host of small adjustments that will result in big improvements to your profits. This TQM (Total Quality Management) understanding that small changes and constant improvement should underpin your progress is an idea that the best Japanese manufacturers employ to their advantage.
You might also like to know how to increase sales by 60% without getting a single new customer.
So yes. The economy is bad. But a poor economy throws up huge opportunities for those who are willing to swallow their pride and take advice. Even when that advice, like putting up your prices, confounds all your best instincts!
