			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During a recession even the best sales professional may think that his prospects and customers main motivation is saving money.</p>
<p>For some that may may be the case. But, the for the vast majority of companies who are successfully weathering the storm the real motivation is to:</p>
<ul>
<li> Trim wasteful spending</li>
<li>Get the best value for their money</li>
</ul>
<p>The second point is the sweet spot where you need to find yourself: Providing the best value for the money.</p>
<p>Take a moment to do an inventory of your company and where it stands in the market place:</p>
<ol>
<li>Are you priced at the bottom, middle or top compared to your competitors? If you&#8217;re at the bottom you need to avoid using &#8220;cheap&#8221; as your way of gaining interest. Unless you are a &#8220;bargain&#8221; type of company, otherwise think &#8220;value.&#8221; If you&#8217;re at the top it&#8217;s time to make sure you are executing the following steps.</li>
<li>What differentiates your company from the competition? What does your company do better than it&#8217;s competitors?</li>
<li>What differentiates your product or service from the competition? How is it better than anything else?</li>
<li>What differentiates <em><strong>YOU</strong></em> from your competitors? What do YOU do better than anyone else? Remember, your customers will be dealing with you.</li>
<li>How do your customers benefit from using your offering? Do they save money over time? Make their job easier? Improve employee morale? Increase profits? Make a list of all the tangible and intangible benefits your customers will enjoy by doing business with you.</li>
</ol>
<p>In every economic climate their are winners and losers. Losers buy into the cliches and are quickly lost in the crowd.</p>
<p>Winners take the road least traveled.</p>
<p>Take the road that few are traveling during this recession and you stand a good chance of coming out on top.  Above all &#8212; STAY FOCUSED!</p>
