| Salesperson Wimp-Out: Cutting the Price
"Boss, if we could just cut our price 15%, we have a chance at the business." Tired of hearing your salespeople say that? The problem isn't your pricing, it's your people. Somewhere they've learned that a good way to compete is to cut the price, and they've gotten away with it.
