pro·ac·tive  [proh-ak-tiv] - adjective

Business definition:  Preventative action and result-oriented behavior.   Not waiting for things to happen and then trying to adjust reactively to them.  Proactive behavior identifies and utilizes opportunities and/or takes anticipatory action against potential issues and problems.

There are two sides to proactivity. 

One is opportunistic proactivity – seeing an opportunity or advancement ahead of the competition and going after it to your advantage.

The other is preventative proactivity – seeing an impending or growing problem and taking action to avert or at least mitigate its negative effects to you and your business.

At Silent Partner Negotiators, we encourage both.  Negotiation of your fixed costs, such as negotiating your lease payment downward, is typically good for your bottom line (there is probably a situation where it isn’t in your best interest, but we’re hard-pressed to think of one).

Normally, our clients come to us either in the preventative proactive phase or, less optimally, the reactive phase.

If your business is struggling (and many are; there is no shame in acknowledging that) then the sooner you admit it to yourself and begin to take proactive measures, the better.  Don’t wait until it may be too late.  Because at some point – and it happens seemingly just like a snap of your fingers – business can go from being in difficulty to being unsalvageable.

Are your lease payments getting harder to afford each month?  Are you using savings or burning inventory (i.e. selling your goods at low or no profit just to generate cash) to cover your costs?

Or, are you starting to get behind and build up a balance owing?

Whatever the state of your affairs, THE TIME TO START BEING PROACTIVE IS NOW!

We encourage you to give us a call.  It will cost nothing but a small amount of your time.  The benefit may be the difference between getting through or giving in.

With our contingency fee available in most lease negotiation and renegotiation cases, it will cost you nothing unless and until you actually save.  Payments are set up monthly so that you pay only a small portion of what you are no longer spending each month on your negotiated fixed expense.

Be proactive today; don’t wait until it’s too late.
