Tiny Marketing: Marketing and Sales Systems for Independent Consultants Ep136: Recession-Proof Your B2B Business | Experts Melissa Armstrong, Peter Giordano III, & Jac White
The economic warning signs are everywhere, and if your accountant is anything like mine, they're already hitting the panic button. But before you slash your prices or cut your marketing budget, take a deep breath. This episode brings together a powerhouse panel of experts to help you not just survive but potentially thrive during economic uncertainty.
What if I told you that recessions actually make millionaires? It sounds counterintuitive, but when everyone else retreats, those who strategically advance can capture significant market share. Our panel dives into why discounting is the wrong move when your costs are increasing, and why marketing is the absolute last thing you should cut (spoiler: cutting marketing creates a 90-day countdown to pipeline drought).
We explore practical strategies for improving cash flow management, including shifting from monthly to weekly financial analysis, optimizing payment terms, and conducting strategic audits of your offers to identify what truly generates profit. You'll learn how to repackage your services into more digestible pieces without sacrificing value, and why this might be the perfect moment to actually raise prices by enhancing perceived value.
Perhaps most valuable is our discussion on maintaining strong customer relationships during uncertainty. Being the "steady hand" that guides clients through turbulent times isn't just good service—it's a competitive advantage that builds lasting loyalty and referrals.
Whether you're feeling the economic pinch already or preparing for what might come, these actionable strategies will help you build a more recession-resistant business.
