Dear Readers,
Everywhere you turn, there’s a reminder that these are tough economic times. Everyone seems to be giving advice or looking for advice. It just seems that the really good advice that I’ve been reading could be used whether times are good or bad. For instance, according to Dr. Peter Turney, CEO of Cost Technology, the top 30 percent of your customers are bringing in 500 percent of your profits. Wouldn’t you rather spend your resources – vast or limited – on those 30 percent and not on the 20 percent who destroy 400 percent of those profits?
The blog link above is a great starting point. Don’t miss the
Survive and Thrive in an Uncertain Economy
Webcast, and then take a tour of this site. It’s all great information for a rainy day, but the ROI is there even if the sun is shining where you are.
