9 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

摘要

Want to grow your business in 2017? Rick Spence, a consultant, speaker and National Postcolumniston entrepreneur-ship and business opportunity, shared nine resolutions to help you achieve this in the New Year:V RESOLUTION!:REVIEW YOUR PRICINGII you have good reason to raise prices on services that add value, do it; every penny goes immediately to the bottom line as profit, said Spence. Still, one angry customer can scare a business into backing off It customers balk, offer a discount for loyalty or for paying the year in full. And when explaining the increase, "communicate like real people;" don't retreat to "fairly inarticulate, impersonal corporate-speak," said Spence. "People will forgive you (for raising prices) if you do it sensitively and thoughtfully,'' he said. You can't put off this task if the business is to thrive; regularly identify where your prices are outdated and take action. "So often, the resistance is more in your head" than in the customer's, said Spence.
