  • Some of the new strategies to help your business grow, and become profitable, may include mergers and acquisitions.
  • Growth may come by adding new staff and new office locations.
  • Profitability may come through creating streams of revenue through new channels.
  • It may consist of revisiting, and adjusting, your existing sales and marketing process, including the delivery of said sales and marketing strategy.
  • In order to grow, you may need to change your offering, how you sell it, and how you onboard and deliver services.
