Best Value for the Money

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Yesterday we talke about companies getting their money’s worth. If you can’t show that, you will soon be looking for work elsewhere. Let’s step this up a bit to showing the best value for the money. In our current economic times, people are asking “how much VALUE am I getting for my money. I am not saying just show value for the money you are being paid, I am talking about showing more value than your competitors. It does not matter if you are working for a company, or you are providing Social Media services to a company, YOU have to show the MOST value or the company will find someone else. To put this in perspective, if I am being paid $1000/mo by a client, I shoot for showing value of at least $1500-$2000. This will show added value and keep you ahead of your competition. Most of my competition show $1000 payback for every $1000 they are being paid. So who do you think will get the contract? Keep in mind I am not talking about doing 1 1/2 – 2 times more work. I am talking about being the best at what you do, being the most efficient and showing the greatest payback. Keep your head up, shoulders straight an you’ll do well.
