This information is valuable to both sales people – who need to show growth opportunities to a customer; and company executives – who need to find a way to increase their own revenue during this difficult economic period. So, I am listing 15 ways to expanse revenues:

  1. Add operational flexibility.
  2. Add manufacturing or processing quality.
  3. Add volume.
  4. Improve effective of sales team.
  5. Introduce new combination of products or new /improved products.
  6. Reduce customer returns (higher quality does this – think six sigma.).
  7. Apply creative sales promotion strategies.
  8. Speed up production and distribution (process related)
  9. Reduce or eliminate unprofitable products, customers, warehouses or territories.
  10. Improve market position.
  11. Add brand name value.
