“Today’s volatile economy is putting stress on millions of businesses. They don’t know how to solve their financial problems, and are just frozen, waiting to see what happens next,” said Barry Schimel, CPA. “But now is the time to take action. There is much that can be done to save businesses.”

 

The 100 strategies work for several types of organizations - from large corporations to small businesses. Strategies focus on such topics as how to straighten out organization and management, manage human resources more effectively, and improve operations processes and systems - all the while generating more profitable sales.

“Profits drive business,” said Schimel, “but when the economy does a nose dive, profits aren’t easy to come by. The 100 ‘ways’ are sound strategies for any economy, and in a volatile one like today’s they are vital for survival.”

 

Among the 100 strategies offered in the book are:

 

1.     Keep the cash flowing in a tight economy

2.     Take every tax break you can - he describes seven smart tax breaks

3.     Compare increased sales with decreased costs

4.     Make everyone in your business responsible for profit

5.     Reshuffle staff duties and cross-train employees to control costs

6.     Eliminate work, not people

7.     Form an internal cost-control committee to trim waste

8.     Establish effective collection practices

9.     Challenge your technology security IQ

10. Scale back orders, but pounce on deals

 

The book includes a mini-action plan for each strategy, complete with action date, person in charge, projected savings or profits, and priority. At the end of book, a Master Action Plan allows readers to prioritize strategies and create a sound plan of action that can be used immediately.
