Career: Can a cost mindset help your career?




YES! It is a known fact that a cost mindset can improve careers very quickly. It is critical that you and every person around you believe and work with a mindset “Every dollar saved is every dollar earned”. Let us look at how this attitude helps your career:

  • You save money for the company
  • The company can reduce the costs of its services to its customers
  • This will mean that our company services cost less than the competition to potential customers
  • This will result in more customers signing up with VA

Meaning, you will grow in your career (I am assuming that your leadership in cost savings and quality of work has impressed your leadership that when there are new opportunities of growth they will select you)
For all those that feel “This will all take a long time. Why should I bother?” Think again. It is a proven fact that an operational savings 5% of total costs can translate into 2 to 3% cost savings to the customer literally immediately. This can increase the growth of a company in less than six months!!!! That is a short time in a career of 40 years! Isn’t it worth trying it out?
