好吧,有幾件事。當(dāng)然,你必須盡你所能來(lái)保持低成本和高收入。
A: so, do you think workers should be paid as little as possible?
那么,你認(rèn)為工人的工資應(yīng)該盡可能低嗎?
B: no. if you do that, the workers won’t like their jobs. They will be less efficient and you will get a high staff turnover. Those things will increase you costs.
不。如果你這樣做,工人們會(huì)不喜歡他們的工作。他們的工作效率會(huì)降低,你會(huì)得到很高的員工流動(dòng)率。這些事情會(huì)增加你的成本。
A: how can a business maxmise revenues?
企業(yè)如何才能最大限度地提高收入?
B: you need to invest in some good adverstising. You have to know where your potential customers are and target them. It’s no good trying to sell computer games to older people. The market is too small.
你需要在一些好的逆境中投資。你必須知道你的潛在客戶在哪里,并將他們作為目標(biāo)。試圖向老年人銷售電腦游戲是沒有用的。市場(chǎng)太小了。
A: what else do you suggest?
你還有什么建議?
B: find out what other companies charge for the same products or services. Price yourself near the low end. Don’t be much cheaper than everyone else, because many customers distrust very cheap things. They think that is must be poor quality if it’s that cheap.
了解其他公司對(duì)相同的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)收取的費(fèi)用。自己的價(jià)格接近低端。不要比其他人便宜太多,因?yàn)樵S多客戶不信任非常便宜的東西。他們認(rèn)為如果價(jià)格那么便宜,那一定是質(zhì)量差。

這很重要。一個(gè)朋友向我推薦了一家好的律師事務(wù)所。我們需要有人來(lái)雇傭員工。
