For this I recommend siunitx, that ensures uniformity in numbers and units.

usepackageamsmath
usepackagesiunitx
sisetup
exponent-product=cdot, % double brace for avoiding the space
per-mode=symbol,
begindocument
SI3e8meterpersecond % long form
SI3e8m/s % abbreviated form
SI[per-mode=reciprocal]3e8meterpersecond % long form
enddocument
Note that it's easy to change from a representation to another, when the long form is used (which is recommended).
Also this has the advantage that you just need to change the option in the preamble if you change your mind about how to represent that product.
The same effect can be obtained with the option tight-spacing, which however will act also on all binary operations, for instance uncertainties.

cdot is defined in fontmath.ltx with:
DeclareMathSymbolcdotmathbinsymbols"01
which means it is a binary operator (mathbin) so it will have an extra space before and after as other binary operators, such as + and -.
TeX will not insert that space if you “hide” cdot within braces:
documentclass[11pt,border=1pt]standalone
begindocument
$3cdot 10^8$ m/s
enddocument
If you will use that symbol multiple times you can define an ordinary math symbol (mathord) with the same glyph as cdot:
documentclass[11pt,border=1pt]standalone
DeclareMathSymbolmdotmathordsymbols"01
begindocument
$3mdot 10^8$ m/s
enddocument
or you can redefine cdot with the same command.
