3. Manage your costs, not just lower them

Focus on enhancing operational performance. Focus on savings in targeted and justified areas instead of across the board cuts.

The fastest way to savings are strict caps on new hiring and limiting expenditures which do not directly support your business or its development and their elimination will not jeopardise your main operations.

Profitability analysis needs to reflect both direct and indirect costs of each product or service. It will help you decide which activities may be terminated or deferred, how to set your new prices, business terms, etc.

1. Which products, customers and distribution channels create or destroy value? Do not try to save on profitable products and clients – ensure their loyalty. It is however pointless to invest in products and services that produce only marginal profits.
   
   
2. Evaluate your cost structure and benefits arising from different types of expenditures. Savings can be achieved by improving the purchasing and production processes and eliminating inefficiencies.
   
   
3. Focus on your employees and support their cost consciousness.
   
   
4. Don’t forget your working capital as its proper management can lead to big savings.
