Three Questions to Help You Adapt to the New Economy

il y a 13 ans, 7 mois - janvier 17, 2013

The new economy doesn't require you to just try harder, sell more, or work longer hours. It requires you to change the way you work. Ask yourself these three questions to assess the current situation and adapt your game to the changed conditions:

What's the situation? Remember that in this new reality in which big businesses are failing, trust, reliability and relationships are the new competitive advantages.
Who else is involved? Consider your customers, prospects, and employees and what they want and need in this new economy.
How can you help? Determine what you have to offer that is unique — it may be innovative products, a differentiated pricing structure, or a new way of relating to customers and employees.
