Add Value To Compete — Oct 7, 2020
Too many companies believe they can only compete on the basis of price. This leads to price cutting and unacceptable gross profit levels. Unless your company is selling a true commodity product or service, it is not always necessary to cut price to compete. If your company understands how to deliver outstanding customer service, it is already far ahead of most businesses. And over time many customers will become somewhat loyal based on that fact. This loyalty can allow some separation between your prices and that of your competition. And there are other ways of adding value to a sale. Use your ability to differentiate your product/service as a means of competing. This will mean that sales people will have to work harder and smarter. They won't be able to simply cut prices to get the deal. They will have to sell value and benefits. Making unnecessary price concessions is one of the leading ways that businesses drop gross profit to levels that simply aren't acceptable.

Customer Feedback
"I had been trying to write a business plan using some sample plans I had found on the Internet. But after showing my first draft to a banker, I realized that the plan lacked a lot of important information and needed a lot of work in general. I bought the Business Plan Workbook and was completely impressed with its content and thoroughness. I used it to write my plan and when it was done it got great reviews. In fact, the banker I showed my first plan to asked where he could get a copy of the workbook and he is now providing it to his clients. This workbook is a must if you're trying to write a business plan."
