Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this glib book, which reads like a newsletter and lacks intrinsic coherence, Kehrer ( 12 Steps to a Worry-Free Retirement ) argues that "the results of a slow-motion cost-cutting revolution will jam the business profitability accelerator to the floor." He outlines his solutions. Curb mailing costs ("pre-sorting mail gets you a discount of about 15%"); develop cash-generating recycling programs; reduce packaging costs; review travel and entertainment expenditures ("the biggest travel savings of all come from not traveling "); and use technology ("electronic payments also ensure that quick payers can earn early payment discounts right up to the deadline") Some of his suggestions are questionable (fix your own computer). While uneven, the book presents several sensible ideas. Fortune Book Club alternate.

From Booklist
Cheapskates are no longer maligned, especially in today's lean, mean business world. Yet, although consumers flock to discount outlets and malls, corporate executives seem to have no systematized manner to pinch pennies. Now, publisher and author Kehrer details 202 ways to cut costs. Each of his 17 chapters, divided by type of expense, not only describes the savings shortcuts but also provides the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of helpful organizations. UPS, for example, will pick up hundreds of packages for a flat $4.50, and avoiding the 411 call and relying on telephone directories will eliminate excessive phone charges. Although a few of the tips are to be questioned (for example, do your own desktop publishing at the risk of having your materials look like "loving hands at home"), most represent sound advice.
