Current economic times call for creative thinking.  To help get your juices flowing, here are 8 questions to ask yourself about your current product and service offerings.  Taking 15-20 minutes to answer these questions might help you come up with a new 5, 6 maybe even 7-figure income stream.

1. Can you offer a budget-type option?
2. Can you use letters instead of expensive brochures? (Usually they are more effective anyway!)
3. Can you bundle services to create better value?
4. Can you make your product or service more tangible?
5. Instead of lowering prices, can you offer payment plans?
6. For what tangible reasons should your customers spend money with you NOW? Are those reasons stated succinctly and clearly in your marketing material
7. Who can help you? Get yourself into a good Mastermind group made up of rainmakers in different industries and/or create a board of advisors or people you admire who can become your advocates. As much as you possibly can, be their advocates as well.
8. Who targets your niche market and offers complementary services? Make a regular habit of networking with people who offer complementary services. Doing this continually will keep you aware of opportunities in your field AND alert you to opportunities you can share with others in your network.

Did that spark any creative ideas? Leave me your thoughts below.
