Lesson #5: Don’t Chase the Quick Buck, Think Long-Term
| |
| “You can do the math 15 different ways, and every time the math tells you that you shouldn’t lower prices because you’re going to make less money” says Bezos with a giant laugh. “That’s undoubtedly true in the current quarter, in the current year. But it’s probably not true over a 10-year period, when the benefit is going to increase the frequency with which your customers shop with you, the fraction of their purchases they do with you as opposed to other places. Their overall satisfaction is going to go up.” |

Lesson #3: Dedicate Yourself And Follow Through

What Your Customers Want
| |
| Don't assume all of your customers are trying to grind you down to your last nickel. Some of them will do that...and you're going to have to ask yourself if that is a customer you need to keep.

Yes - they want it to be measurable.
And yes - they are still willing to try something new. |

Can Pricing Strategy Affect Your Brand
| |
| Can your pricing strategy affect how your clients perceive your small business brand? I read an article yesterday about soaring fuel costs in the travel sector and how Canada's much maligned national airline (Air Canada) will be implementing a series of fees to recoup costs.

Don't Think Too "Small"

| Don't Think Too "Small"
Simple as it may sound, many small companies stay small because their owners never dare to think big. It's true: Negative or defeatist thinking is the greatest obstacle to business success. As long as the entrepreneur thinks of himself as a nickel-and-dime operator, his company will never be more than a financial midget scratching around for subsistence earnings. It is an easy trap to fall into. You may, after all, run a small venture with relatively few employees and limited capital. Accepting the role of a small-time business owner is an inexcusable business mistake. It is like drawing a circle around your company and promising not to grow any bigger than these artificial borders. |
