FIVE STEPS TO GETTING THE FEES YOU KNOW YOU DESERVE
By John Doerr One of the most common laments I hear from service business executives goes like this: "Our services are becoming a commodity. Everyone is out there saying they can do the same thing we do, pushing fees further and further down. Prospects are just buying on price." Unfortunately as service providers, there are aspects of what we provide that have become commodities. Price competition is rampant. However, if you follow these five steps to provide value before, during, and after the sales process, you will get the fees you know you deserve.

The World May Be Flat.....But is it Aligned?

The Man at the Top of the Food Chain: Dave Thomas is Born
Dave Thomas starred in 652 commercials for Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, more than any other person in television history. But, he wasn’t just that friendly face you saw on TV with his white shirts and red ties; Thomas built his multi-billion dollar fast-food restaurant chain from the ground up, earning him a reputation as one of the most successful and loved entrepreneurs in American history.

Open For Business: Wendy’s Takes Off
In early 1969, Thomas was sitting in the steam room of the Columbus Athletic Club with his friend Len Immke, sharing with him his restaurant ideas. After finding the Club’s dining room closed, Immke commented on how difficult it was to find a good lunch downtown and suggested that Thomas open his own restaurant in one of Immke’s buildings. On November 15, 1969, Thomas did just that and opened the first Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers in Columbus, Ohio to a packed grand opening.

Lesson #3: Give Something Back
“We have a responsibility to help others who can’t help themselves,” said Thomas. “The more you give, the more you get in return.”

The Savory Taste of Success Thomas Rise to the Top
Thomas’ father once told him, “You’ll never keep a job! I’ll be supporting you for the rest of your life.” From being an anonymous baby who was unwanted by his birth parents to becoming a multi-million dollar CEO, Thomas made the vision he outlined as a 15 year old come true.

Branding: The Competitive Edge in a “Flattening World”
If you own or work in a mid-sized company, you know only too well what author Thomas Friedman is talking about in his book entitled “The World Is Flat.” You know the competitive landscape no longer has a horizon. You can no longer enjoy the “friendly competition” of similar-sized or like-minded firms competing with you regionally or nationally. In fact, many mid-sized companies dominated domestic markets simply because global competitors couldn’t get here. But technology has hit full stride. While five years ago, global competition may have seemed like a nagging fly that wouldn’t go away. Today, it is a reality.
