3 Weapons to Defend Your Company From the “D” Word

Economists at the Minnesota High Tech Conference last week maintained that the economy hasn’t tripped and fallen into a big “D”, depression. And, the experts predict that the “R” (recession) will bottom out yet this year. However, even though we’re not in a “D,” many business owners, managers, and CEOs that I talk with concur that they’re fighting another “D”—a decline in sales. Consequently, their sales teams are feeling “D”—depressed and demoralized.

That means that it’s time to step up your own “D”—defense.
