BAD is Buck-A-Day.

If you're looking to cut costs, increase productivity, boost morale or open communications, BAD Month is an idea worth considering. The theory behind Buck-A-Day is that the people who do the job know the job best. Its a bottom-up communications campaign that asks everyone to focus on cost reduction. It's been tried, tested and proven in more than 3,000 organizations. Everyone gets the same objective: find a way to reduce costs on the job by at least a buck a day.

You're probably sitting on a potential gold mine of cost reduction ideas!

What if you knew a way to get 80, 90, even 100% of your employees actively thinking of ways to improve profits?

What if their ideas could ring up hundreds of thousands of dollars in bottom-line savings?

Suppose you could achieve those results in 30 days? Without adding extra personnel? Without giving away cash awards or expensive prizes?

And, suppose you could do it without any financial risk?

Sound impossible? Well, we've helped thousands of organizations discover a gold mine of significant improvement ideas right in their own backyards. And you, too, are probably sitting on a wealth of easily implementable ideas. We can show you how to tap this very valuable hidden resource.

How do we do it? With a remarkable campaign that simply and effectively moblizes your entire organization into a hard-hitting cost reduction task force.

Why are we so confident?

We've helped over 3000 companies put our BAD Month program into operation and we know what it will do. BAD stands for save a Buck-A-Day - the cost reduction goal for each employee.

It might not sound like much, but these dollars really add up. With 250 working days in the year, the goal for 1,000 employees is $250,000 in cost savings. And, most of these dollars go right to the bottom line.

Look at it this way. Every one of your employees is an expert about their own jobs. Every one of your employees knows more about his or her job than anyone else. So, when you're taking stock of your assests you should also be banking on their expertise.

Results are guaranteed

We're so confident, in fact, that if you have more than 100 employees we'll five you a no-weasel-words money-back guarantee: you will save more than the BAD program costs of we will refund the difference between what we charged and what you saved.

If you're like most of our clients, you'll find your return on investment in just the first year is somewhere between five to one and ten to one. At some companies tapping this resource produces returns that exceed forty to one or fifty to one.

Layoffs, downsizing and morale

If you have already been through a layoff you know it's no fun for anyone. Not for managemnet. Not for the people who were terminated. Not for the survivors.

For many it results in a permanent change in their attitude and outlook toward business.

The survivors of a layoff know the economic facts of life. They are ready now, as never before, to do what is needed to become part of a lean and efficient organization that can meet the demands of today's marketplace.

How big are the savings?

We mean really significant savings. And, most importantly, savings that have an immediate impact on the bottom line.

• A small food company had voluntary participation from 90 percent of their employees and first-year savings exceeded $200,000.
• A major oil company set up a "BAD Idea Exchange" among its refineries and was able to reduce operating costs by $4 million annunally.
• A clerk in the computer department of a New York bank found a way to immediately save $36,000 in unnecessary costs by eliminating a report that was no longer needed.
• At a hospital in Texas, 1,300 employees produced more than 2,800 ideas during their month-long campaign. Two thousand of the ideas were implemented before the campaign ended!
