I believe that as we head&lt;br&gt;into a true recession, each company is going to have to make a determination&lt;br&gt;on what types of deals that they want to do.  Cash will probably be king and&lt;br&gt;discounts for things like PR &amp;amp; speaking engagements probably won't carry as&lt;br&gt;much value.  Identify profitable deals early on and walk away from deals&lt;br&gt;that aren't.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for the idea.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Scott Schnaars</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2008 11:08:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Bailouts, Bad Revenue &amp;#038; Making It The Hard Way - Episode 5</title><link>http://beyondsnakeoil.com/2008/09/bailouts-bad-revenue-making-it-the-hard-way-episode-5/#comment-2787386</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Scott, I like your blog, very nice work. I agree with you that people need to avoid bad revenue - maybe you could talk more about your definition of bad revenue in your next post? I didn't come away feeling like I understood specifically what it means to be bad revenue. Your joke, for example, threw me for a bit of a loop, since revenue a quarter at a time could be good revenue, if you can repeatedly get that revenue and at a cost low enough to produce a reasonable profit for you (for example, look at the search business).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In any case, great concept with your blog!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Robi Ganguly</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:03:41 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
