			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Stop Light" src="http://www.esquire.com/cm/esquire/images/3-traffic-light-md-12985022.jpg" alt="" width="186" height="186" />Every business I know is scrambling to maintain profitability and cash flow.  The lenders seem to be more critical of performance in this economic down turn. So the question becomes how to maintain adequate profitability and cash flow to keep the lenders happy with your performance. Businesses fear that their bank will show them the door and ask them to find another source of financing.  Most advice they get from the banker or accountant is about cost cutting &#8211; cost cutting can only go so far before you eat into your business&#8217;s ability to operate..  The ONLY other  alternative is IMPROVING REVENUE! What is the best way to do that?</p>
<p>Here is a proven principal that is very useful in helping you identify the BEST and sometimes the EASIEST ways to improve revenue/sales.  This concept was developed a few years ago by Tom Epply when he, as the president of his company, wanted to help his manager identify the best way to increase sales.</p>
<p>Tom named this the &#8220;stop light study&#8221; because it resembles a traffic stop light &#8211; Green, YELLOW, and RED.  The GREEN is the easiest because it is selling an existing product to an existing customer.  The relationship is already formed, the players are known and all that needs to be determined is what does the customer need that you are currently providing.  This is the easiest way to increase revenue in your business.<br />
<a href="http://dynastybuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Stop-Light.GIF"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-581" title="Stop Light" src="http://dynastybuilder.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Stop-Light.GIF" alt="Stop Light" width="473" height="310" /></a><br />
The Caution areas are YELLOW.  This is selling either a new customer an existing product or an existing customer a new product.  The familiarity with one of the two key functions is known; either the customer or the product, the other side of the equation has to be created: the customer or the product.  There is one unknown in this step and one known.  It can be done but it is somewhat harder than the GREEN alternative.</p>
<p>The RED box &#8211; finding a new customer to sell a new product to.  This has the highest level of failure and the sales cycle is the longest.  Not that this cannot be done successfully; but it takes the longest, cost the most and the highest level of risk.</p>
<p>The easiest, fastest and most cost effective way to grow revenue is by going to existing customers with one of your existing products (GREEN) ; the next best is going to existing customers with a new product or going to a new customer with one of your existing products (YELLOW).  The most risky is trying to find a new customer with a new product (RED).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve help scores of businesses wade through tough times and come out on top. I would be happy to help you as well.</p>
