Example: CEO Monthly Letter

Monday, October 10th, 2011

We get asked fairly often for an example of the “CEO Monthly Letter” so here it is:

CEO Monthly Letter

Just try to always include in your letter the GOAL, How we’re Doing against the Goal, and some Cheerleading (often signaled by an ! exclamation point).  You can also add a bit about how you as CEO see things right now (be truthful in tough times and also always try to be positive, add the “silver lining” to your close).

As always, hope this helps you!  Very best, Kraig

 

Tools for Upping Price

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Cost-inflation is alive and well, with the CPI growing over the past six months by 5-1/2% and other costs (prices) skyrocketing — for example, steel, aluminum, energy, food (wheat, corn, and other grains which also drive meat-feed-prices).  Here are some thought-starters for increasing price…many are good ways, many are not nice ways, but they all are prevalent today.   Just click on the PDF below

Price Tools

Develop your “price strategy” now because your costs are and will be rising rapidly (wage rates will go up because of food and energy).  Be ready to implement your pricing, with adjustment, as the cost-pressure starts to rise on your business.

Hope this is helpful to you!  Very best, Kraig
