Instead of Discounting, Back Some Value Out of Your Proposal
Last minute discounting has become so prevalent that many companies have come to depend on it as their default sales strategy. Employing a go-to-market strategy of being the lowest cost provider is one thing, but dramatic, tactical discounting on every deal will erode your company's margins and leave you digging a deeper and deeper hole in which your company will ultimately bury itself. I don't want to give you the impression that discounting is never appropriate. I ca

Cost Reduction Thwarts Innovation
A survey conducted recently by Quint Wellington Redwood, the independent management consultancy dedicated to solving IT-related organizational issues, reveals that for 75% of companies, cost reduction is still the most compelling reason for IT outsourcing.

This is not another story about my UPS man, but it is related. (See Signature Selling) I had the privilege of going Pheasant Hunting in Kimball, South Dakota. I traveled with my father-in-law and brother-in-law, and a few others for a total of eight. Now there are more than hundred lodges across America from which to choose, and I happened upon this place called Wings of Thunder while surfing the internet. The plane travel would be somewhat easy and the daily price seemed right. After speaking with the proprietors on the phone, our date was set. We would hunt three days and spend four nights - in February in South Dakota. Cold!

The accommodations were comfortable and fun. We had a pool table, big screen TV, card tables and a restaurant style cooler for our beverages. The staff was courteous each and every day.

Hunting each morning and afternoon was fun because the birds were plentiful. And during the times we didn't want to shoot birds, we could skeet sh

When you think about contests or other various events when human skill or genius is being acknowledge, there are always various types of award plaques that are being handed out to either the contest winners or just to the persons who are being honored at a certain event.In spite of the awarding ceremony being a small part of the whole program, the award plaques are clearly an important part of the whole event.

And during the times we didn't want to shoot birds, we could skeet shoot on a challenging course. The overall experience had us talking about the place for weeks. In short, we had fun and we will return. Upon reflecting on the trip, it wasn't that they blew us away with customer service, fed us good food or put us on thousands of birds. What made the trip a memorable experience was that they chose to do CERTAIN things extremely well, and others they didn't do at all! We were on our own getting to the place - no help there. If you wanted to skip a tasty meal, you waited until the next feeding time to eat. The staff was courteous, but they run a hunting lodge and expected the rules to be followed. Therefore, they were not very flexible, and not your best friends. After all, you're supposed to bring your friends with you. And the pricing was a bit high if you went over your daily limit of three birds. But we didn't travel 1,000 miles to
