Unlocking Profit Before Chasing More Revenue

When growth stalls, the instinct is to buy more demand. Often the faster money is already inside the business — in pricing, promotion discipline, channel mix, returns, cost to serve and marketing efficiency.

Do it in that order. Fix the economics, then scale them. Scaling first simply industrialises the leak.
