The 38 tips you’re about to see are contained in my two e-manuals called, “How Your Business Can Survive And Prosper In A Recession.”

NOTE: I interviewed 38 top experts in business, sales & marketing. Each expert revealed the common mistakes most businesses make, 5-10 methods that they’d use to survive and prosper in a recession, and money-making opportunities available to business owners during this time.

You are about to see just ONE method from each of their interviews. If you would like to see more, then you can go to the site and check out a free preview of two of the interviews or grab both e-manuals for one low price.

Now here is your 31st tip…

(Vol. 2 Jacques Werth – Method To Survive & Prosper)

Improve the deals with your suppliers. Anxiety about losing accounts during recessions makes some suppliers highly cooperative.”

Jacques’ method really adds to the last two methods.  While your checking on your daily, exact expenses and making sure that your supplier is solid and can survive this time, why not talked to them about getting a better deal?

If you don’t at least ask, then you’ll never know!

Why don’t you shop around and see what prices other suppliers are offering right now?  Then give your suppliers a call and tell them you’ve been looking at other suppliers and wondered if they could give you a better deal?

See what happens.  It couldn’t hurt.  And what’s even better…  it could help!  🙂
