Re: Small Business Survival Tactics in a Recession
I agree with all except booting people and putting people on straight commission. If someone has been loyal and did the right thing. Screwing around with their income at the worse possible time is not cool.
A guy I worked with had gone bankrupt and after I got to know him.He told me what happened. His family owned a trucking business, things got bad. He, his dad and brothers sat down and decided that they would not close til they found every employee a job. They had been loyal to them and they had to do the right thing. Well to do that it cost them, they had to take on a mountain of debt. I asked would he do it again, he said it was the right thing to do so he would do it everytime.
