This principle is easy to understand. It is also one of most essential business practices in today's volatile economy. Just like you and me, our customers and clients are particular about how they spend their money. They deserve most value possible for each dollar they spend.

Here's a little exercise that is fun to do, and provides some valuable insight. Think about all companies you've done business with over past year. Pretend you are holding a personal "Company of Year Contest." Who would win, and why?

I'll bet it would be company whose product or service gave you far more in use value than you paid in cash value. It would be one whose product satisfied important wants or needs - one you enthusiastically told your friends about.

Consider also that both you and your winning company benefited when you made purchase. By using this simple value principle, you and your customers will benefit beyond expectations.

You'll grow a profitable business because you'll get and keep more customers over time. They'll keep coming back, and keep giving you referrals because they know you'll give them truly exceptional value!
