There’s a local car dealership offering to buy cars from those who are in need of cash. Unless they plan on downgrading on monthly payments or sorts, its a terrible idea.
While there may be many who are out of jobs this season, how do they plan on finding a new job and getting there everyday if they sale their car?
Same principle in business – don’t fire your sales team.
Currently, there are many companies cutting their sales time – non-salary, commissions-only sales associates. Why? They don’t get paid unless they make the company money. Fire and consolidate the management first. If a company let’s go of the sales teams, who needs management? There’s nothing to manage.
To many this may seem like common-sense, but what kills me is there are companies who don’t get this basic principle.
For example. there are web development companies here in Atlanta, Georgia that have boards of directors. First, why does a web development company need a board of directors boggles me. But, these companies are letting go of their designers and developers – the workers responsible for product fulfillment. They’re keeping their boards, though. Stupid.
Don’t sell your car; don’t fire your sales teams. These are the channels that increase you and your company’s income potential.
