Since the 2008 recession, profits for companies nationwide have been drastically cut. Many businesses now operate with less than a 10% margin. There are four primary steps which should be used for both cutting costs and increasing sales in order to regain numbers of the past.
Key Takeaways:
- No matter what size operation you have, if you’re not reaching a 10% margin (or better), now is the time to set things on the right course for 2017.
- First, get control of your overhead.
- Second, revise your accounts receivable program.
