Promote the Value…

by admin on October 12, 2007

Wow in the office way too early(not really getting exercise both physical and mental) but really having some good conversations with myself-yes, in my head not verbally. :) Perhaps this is my Jerry Maguire moment where I have a flash of insight after eating pizza the night before… Only thing is I work for myself, so it doesn’t matter what I think I won’t get fired.

Right, the point of the post-sometimes we get so busy being busy, using the tools the lingo, etc. that we forget the basics and the key points. I used to emphasize my value on my website and correspondences to prospective clients and have stopped doing that. It just dawned on me that I need to. Why? It is good marketing but even more important it is true. Me being in the production/development equation here is going to benefit the value-conscious customer because I’ll end up saving them much time in communication. In the time =money equation that is a good thing. Can’t and don’t want to compete purely on price-that is a losing game and a slippery slope. Price customers are like crack addicts and are never satisfied, always hungry. Sadly many playing the price game from the supply side are doing just that-playing a game. They bait and switch or low ball to get an order and then come back later when customer is in a bind and renegotiate prices, or agree to ridiculously low pricing and skimp on material and/or labor steps…

Make sure you find the value in what you do and let others know.
