Surviving the Recession
The current economic climate is as bad as it's been in eighty years. Even the most optimistic business outlook would express caution. Will your customers close their doors, or lose their jobs? Will their budgets be cut? Whatever the situation is by the time you read this, these are reasonable concerns; and this is no time to keep doing the same things you've done before.
If history is any guide, even the worst economic conditions don't last forever. We will eventually come out of it, and there will be winners and losers.
To be clear, this is the time to pick up market share on your competitors. While they're cutting their marketing and sales budgets, they're vulnerable. So you can steal their customers, and pick up market share that will lead to significantly higher profits when the market returns. And it doesn't have to cost you more than you're currently paying. In fact, focusing on growth can be cheaper than hunkering down.
How can you increase your market share and actually reduce your costs at the same time? Read "How to Prosper in a Recession" and find out how to win when everyone else is running scared.
