How to avoid being another Dot Com Bomb AND increase your Profit Margin - part 2

The only two effective methods are to;
1.) Lower your operating expenses
2.) Increase your profitability (click for part 3)

1.) How do you lower your expenses? Fire employees? Sure, that's one way, but the bottom line is that unless you're in the habit of hiring people to do nothing but sit around all day - your employees are the cogs that keep your business running smoothly.
You could relocate your operations, if not to the 'other side of the tracks', then at least to a cheaper rent district. There are problems inherent with that too. Your phones, your stationary, the name recognition with your present location, the deposits, moving expenses and everything else leave this a less than desirable option for most.

A major problem is that most people accept certain expenses as being cast in stone and never think to question them. You could be one of those people caught in that trap that many of us fall into. Trapped by an industry that has been so abused by the 'Take Them for Everything We Can' attitude, that most are totally unaware that there are alternatives. Unfortunately, these practices of bilking the average small and medium sized business are so prevalent that we have been confused into thinking that high prices mean that you are getting your dollars worth, and that any other solution would be at the cost of quality and service. It's simply not true, and we have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt time after time that it is a myth. Take a look at the chart below and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
