Everyone always has suggestions when times are good. But they seem to be MIA for the tough calls. That's probably why Barry voted "Present" so often.
I really great mentor if mine told me that when it's time to make hard choices, all you're going to hear is the sound of crickets.

know what a great mentor of mine told me?
A combination of raising prices and cuts to CEO and Board of Directors' salaries.
I started up in the vending machine business and have about 10 machines at 5 locations and Im already seeing the benefits of outsourcing things like having someone find me locations instead of me going out and pounding the pavement trying to convince business owners to allow my machines in their businesses. I would rather pay a professional locating company to place my machines for me because the time it takes me to find one decent location, it would exceed my internal hourly rate Ive placed on myself compared to what I would pay the locator for. Plus Im just not a hard sales guy. Sometimes outsourcing is for teh good.

Heck yeah! Just have a price increase! Why didn't I think of that??? Oh wait... If I couldn't have gotten a higher price before, what makes you think I'll get a higher price simply because my costs went up?
Is that what you guys do? Just raise prices at the club you work at? Maybe SD can test this idea for us. Dave, can you make everything in your machines cost $20? Will your machines take a $20? We gotta test this out.
And if you can cut executive pay and board member pay and keep them (assuming you want them), then you should regardless of whether costs went up.
I'm still waiting to hear your flash of genius insight into how to solve the original dilemma....
Um, how about the guys who are making 6 and 7 figure salaries take pay cuts and maintain the buildings the way they need to be maintained instead of beating up the guys who are doing the maintenance that is needed or cutting hours of people who already make only slightly better than minimum wage or forever postponing needed facilities improvements.
My heart did not ache when I heard the CEO or some other suit was voted only a 15% raise in the years when I couldn't afford the copay to also be covered under my husband's health insurance, sorry.
Sure i can just change my price from $2 to $4 on my breathalyzer machines and see what happens.
Or change my candy machines from a quarter to a dollar, should be a four fold revenue increase!
Genius!
