***A Call to GLP Business Owners, What's Your Plan????***

I had my business for almost 5 years, same thing involved in commercial and residential developments. Lost all my business, out of business, kaput. I am thinking insurance claims adjusting, I think there is going to be lots of work in that area (disasters).

Call Ed Schultz radio show on Fridays

Every friday for about 1 or 2 years now he has had Friday time dedicated to "Recession Busting" and gives business owners like you air time on a national show to explain about the service or product you provide, it's cost, and the information that listeners can use to contact you.

Wow, someone is pin happy tonight!

Bankruptcy?

BECOME A PRIEST, MONK, OR WHATEVER RELIGIOUS FIGURE IN YOUR CULTURE, EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEF.

FREE FOOD FOREVER AND ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD.

Well insurance is a good area, thats what my wife does and she gladly is secure...for now.

I would say go for it! Insurance is tough to get started in, but if you have the gift of sales backing you, that's half the battle.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

I guess you all know the big crash of 2010 is on its way.

The economic system will be crashed by TPTB in London, to get their electronic money system of slavery pushed by the antiChrist himself.

He will appear once the war gets nasty and the world economy crashes, claiming to save humanity...

His Zionist minions are trying their hardest to create war and tank the economy...

Thanks Jen, I'm not thinking Christmas yet, but hoho!

I'm a remodeling contractor in montana. And i've seen this crash that is coming years ago coming. So I've paid everything off and am trying as best I can to store what I think I'll need for the years of depression that is coming. Plus learning to grow my own food and live as simply as I can.

The shock will be the lack of work I'll have. If any. I hope I still get some work so I can pay my taxes on my property.

I was lucky. MY dad who went through the depression in the 30's kept telling me the banksters were setting us all up yet again for another depression. And he was right about everything he said.

Decorative concrete? never heard of...any links?

look for contracts with housing organisations the work will be there, but privatly middle class homowners will be doing there own decorating from now on this i can pretty much guaruntee

We have a two-part strategy:

First, make sure the value points of your product/service get pitched in a way that proves cost-savings benefit quickly -- no longer than the 1st three months. Three months out is about the limit of imagination or reality for a customer who's also in trouble, and needs fixes that will save them. So you've got to prove your value proposition right up front, showing a quick cash win for the customer.

Second, assume that all your competitors are also struggling. Look for those who are your closet peers (in product, service area and market size), and study them carefully. Do some undercover work if necessary, pretending to be a prospective customer interested in their services. What you'll very likely find is all the ways they've cut corners in order to manage their own bottom line: they've started using cheaper materials, untrained workers, products that deliver less in size/volume/value, etc. Zero in on the cut-corners that serve you best, and increase your co's value in that area, then sell the heck out of it. Tell customers what the other guys are doing, and how you best them.

There's another heavy tactic you can employ, depending on your business product/service. If you sell a buy once, walk-away product, forget this one. But if you sell something that delivers to the customer in stages (i.e., they'll buy additional widgets, or upgrade their service, or roll-out a complete product/service buy over a number of installments), then this might be for you.

Get a few laid-off friends together, buy them a thermos of coffee and a box of donuts and pay them for the day, and send them out to follow the company vehicles of your best competitors. Log where they're going, who the customers are that have projects in the works. Then follow-up, going to those customers next day, and selling them a better deal so they'll switch over to you.

Good luck!

I agree that that looks like the timetable of things to come. But Its even bigger than blaming the zionists. Its the banksters, catholics, elites, ect.. involved in this purposeful crash, super depression that is coming.

I'm not trying to do anything different, just survive!

My question to any other business owners is how are you going to survive?

It is coming, I know. Going to be worse than 08 for sure. Obammy money to prop up things is over and there is no mo money.

That's the spirit OP, my hat's off to you for starting this thread! Good to see someone bearing down and determined to make it through despite all the doom/gloom.

On my way out right now but hope I'll get back in time to pick up the thread and post, interesting to see what comes up.

I manage a "middleware" service for corporation. I get my base pay and benefits from it. Although it requires long hours I have the flexibility to work wherever I need to. Along side, I've started a small niche social network for IT professionals. It takes a lot out of me. 12-15 hour days many times including weekends. My point is if you can stretch yourself for a season and find work with benefits and good pay while still running your business you may be able to find some latitude to push past the plateau.

Selling emergency kits, seeds, survival items. These things will be a booming business soon.

Books that show people how to make soup, soap, toothpaste and other things in their homes. Budgets will stretched so people need to do more at home.

Sounds like you were prepared! I though am not, but want to be.

Thanks for your input! I've emplyed a few of you tactics, but my real problem is getting the phone to ring.

It will depend on what you can do for others to make money or trade services or things. Its all about doing a service for someone to be able to get something back. So you have to think what people will need when they don't have much to spend.
