Here are tips you can use to improve your business post-close:

You optimize costs.

When I consulted SMBs, I helped a business grow net income by 1800% with only a 65% increase in revenue.

How?

We:

  1. Cut major costs that didn't matter to customers
  2. Improved processes to expand gross margin
  3. Improved role descriptions so people know how to become A players
  4. Created net income calculations for each manager, so they had more autonomy and better decision-making
  5. Cleaned up the bookkeeping - need good data to make data-based decisions
  6. Introduced performance incentives, so each employee makes more now and knows how their work helps the company make money

Which one of these could help you?
