    Business Process Management And Six Sigma
    Six Sigma was devised to incorporate continuous improvement in the industry procedures through its methodological systems of identifying faults and correcting them.

    The Price, Cost Value Relationship
    If I were to ask a room full of 1000 salespeople (I have done it) what is the number one thing consumers want today, what do you think their answer would be? You guessed it – Lower Price. And second? Quality? Right again, and third? Service. Bingo. Now, let’s switch scenes for a moment. I now have a thousand consumers or business buyers in my audience, and I ask them the same question. What do you think my answers would be?Let me
    Not so long ago I was in the middle of a sales call when a prospect spoke up and said the words: "I always buy based on lowest price. Period."

    In response I explained that it's very rare that my price would be the lowest and that it probably wouldn't make sense for us to try to work together given his strict buying criteria.

    He seemed quite shocked that I would openly admit to being higher priced than some of my competitors and further that I would not agree to simply match the price of the lowest priced supplier.

    I went on to explain that my goal in working with clients was more focused on meeting their objectives and delivering on their goals then simply securing a quick signature.

    I added that some of my service offerings would be different than that of my competitors and that I could not simply "match the lowest price" unless he was willing to allow me to waive different aspects of my service offering.

    And even then the best I could do would be to subtract the value of those service offerings, which still might not put me in the lowest price position.

    History of the Printing Press
    The advent of the printing press has been a landmark event for mankind. The printing press has played a crucial role in communication, especially when other mediums of communications, such as telephone and television, were not developed.

    In addition, I allowed that it would not be fair to my clients that had paid more to receive the level of service they have come to expect from me.

    I further explained that a major portion of my business was derived from referrals and that my referrals were typically received as a result of my striving to offer a top quality service and that I could not sacrifice that quality to simply sign a quick order.

    Again, it would not be fair to my other clients.

    I also noted that it wouldn't be a good way to start a business relationship because I wouldn't be able to offer my normal quality of service (without losing money) and whats more I would never be able to help him achieve his specific goals if I was not operating at my normal level of service / quality.

    I finished the conversation by stating that it would probably be a poor use of our time to pursue the opportunity further.

    I was very cordial and polite and even offered to work with him in the future should the opportunity arise and should it make sense for us to work together.

    Now, I'm not suggesting that anyone reading this should walk away from business.
