NEW WAYS-BEGETS DRAGGING FEET SYNDROME

It is absolutely true...

Astonishing as it sounds, there are those that continue to hold firm to old, dead processes: like burning money, while the other hand is trying to keep it.

You cannot show 'em, nor do they want to know. You cannot explain it, because they do not want to listen.

They are too busy trying to get more profits. Hell, what is fixed costs, anyway? Arn't they knowing enough to know that fixed costs can become variable costs, simply because we introduce a new and more efficient process. The secret, that it saves money through revamping, should be a no brainer, but unfortunately, it is a hard subject for others to wrap their brain around.

I am referring to low bidders and how they get jobs. Low bidders; nothing wrong with that-right?

The problem I see, from my point of view, is that, if you low bid, then profits are minimized and you (business owner), will have to rely on other avenues of accounts receivables to promote cash flows. Fine, if you got it-but remember, it is taking away from one process to fund another.

Would it not be better, to have both or all other processes efficient, thus, contributing to the whole?
If we can cut costs at every level, we not only improve our existance, but the business' cash flow, isn't that a theoretical dream we all want to share in, or is the practice common?

You tell me!

You tell me-what's wrong with that?!
