Sell More to Existing Customers in Recession
In a recession, businesses need to sell in different ways. Because arguments about Return on Investment is often required, sales people may need additional support from the finance team.
In addition, because the entire business may need to be involved in winning new business, sales training for those on the operational side of a business may be useful. These employees can help farm for new business, and work with sales people to close deals.
Not everybody is comfortable hunting for new business, but those currently dealing with customers can work to bring in new business by identifying needs. This can be done by cross-selling services.
Existing customers are able to help identify portfolio gaps – areas where a business could successfully offer services to customers.

Thanks for the kind words. I’ve sent the slides by email, and I hope that you manage to interest your sales and account managers in working with visual slides. For companies who actually offer a very visual product or service – there can be even more reason to more visual presentations and move away from tired-old bullet points.
