Main Takeaways:
- Value Over Price: Shift from discount-driven selling to value-based conversations that focus on outcomes and ROI.

- Invest in People: Use non-cash incentives to retain talent and maintain morale during uncertainty.
The hosts introduce the idea of a Resilience Scorecard, encouraging businesses to assess their pricing flexibility, revenue sources, team adaptability, and contingency planning. It’s a proactive approach that isn’t just for crisis mode—but a blueprint for long-term growth and stability.
Above all, Cory and Lon remind listeners to filter the noise, stay curious, and lead with clarity—because in uncertain times, clear communication and strong leadership are more powerful than ever.
