Panic Response Management
Panic Response Management is, in effect, crisis restructuring. There's nothing wrong with crisis restructuring by itself. However, this restructuring is more apt to occur from the bottom-up versus the top-down. In other words, revenue producing functions or people may be prematurely cut. These people or positions may be, at a minimum, covering their variable expense and contributing to some degree toward fixed costs. This creates a redistribution of fixed expenses which may now jeopardize the profitability of some other segment or division. This can create pressure to close other divisions and business segments or cut deeper into revenue producing functions that are contributing at least a portion to fixed costs, thus creating "The Death Spiral."

First Call --- Last Look
A former colleague of mind was fond of quoting what he considered "less competent" sales people who claim--- "My customers don't give last looks." His response; "Well, that just means someone else is getting it - Batman!" I really love that quote. Unfortunately it doesn't go far enough. The real question is what do you do when you get last look? Do you automatically match the low price? Unfortunately, that is the first response of most sales people. In fact, it is often the first response of many managers. The real test is how you maintain the business at a price that is profitable, acceptable and meets your margin objectives. Can you sell the customer at a higher price when he has a lower priced quote staring him in the face?
