GLOBAL ECONOMIC SLUMP

Step One:Break Out of a Commodity Mindset

If you believe you sell a commodity, you’ll never be

able to sell your products at a profitable price.

So stop that line of thought.

You set the price. Not the market.

Communicate how your offerings are different from

competitors and price accordingly.

2. Test increases on loyal customers first.

3. Avoid formula-based, cost-plus pricing.
