Know where your best customers are in terms of profits. This means truly understanding what customers you cannot afford to lose. Consequently, it\u2019s important to focus on spending on your best customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, ask yourself if your staff is working with you in terms of profitability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For start-up owners, it\u2019s important to put procedures and systems in place for your staff to ensure that they\u2019re focusing on the right areas.
