Join Kraig Kramers, 28-year veteran Vistage speaker, recipient of Vistage Speaker of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Awards, for this timely Webinar presentation focused on responding to today's economic downturn. The current recession is dramatically different from all prior recessions – it's the first to be credit driven and has already changed how business is done in America. It has altered how cash, credit, business commitments and business conduct are perceived and carried out.

This Webinar will explore these changes and the responses business can successfully undertake to thrive during the remaining downturn and developing recovery. These include:

• Top tools for getting and maintaining more volume
• Managing expenses and costs more adeptly
• Controlling cash while corralling credit
• Searching out unique opportunities for your specific business


CEOs, top financial executives and managers
