Most companies can not get to the next stage of their business (increased market share, growth in revenue). Either they are not getting in front of enough customers or they are not in front of the "right" customers. Instead of continuing on the same path, you should re-examine what you are doing. Change strategy, direction and re-evaluate the markets you are operating in. Some of the ideas suggested here have been as a result of direct conversation with partners, customers and others who wanted to serve a specific niche or do something very different. All of this requires business research and accurate business intelligence.
