- Become an indispensable employee by generating more money than you cost.
- Make suggestions to improve your company, regardless of your position.
- Be creative when you look for possible savings.
- For example, renegotiate bank fees, taxes and insurance, check utility bills for errors, and bargain for cheaper cleaning services, building maintenance or landscaping.
- Don’t ignore inefficiency at your workplace. Time-wasting behavior costs money.
- Translate your suggestions into sales equivalents – how many sales must your company make to equal the savings you discover?
- Do extra work without pay; the boss will notice and eventually reward your efforts.
- Become more efficient. Limit interruptions and respond to emails at set times each day.
- When you are applying for a new job, cite your successful moneymaking suggestions on your résumé.
- Brush up your people skills. No one will listen to your suggestions if you don’t communicate well.
