There are a number of ways to increase shareholder returns,
starting with boosting revenue streams and gross profits.
•
Revenue streams can be grown through client optimization,
product inventory expansion, and the delivery of superior
customer service.
•
Identifying the ideal suppliers can help raise gross profits.
•
Shareholder value can also can be maximized by maintaining
high sales employee productivity levels.
4. •
Sometimes, short-term gains can be met by undercutting
suppliers, ignoring customer complaints, and overlooking
employee concerns.

Building shareholder value, however, is an effective long-term
strategy.

reducing store inventory.

customer base will be diluted and customers then will seek out
comparable outlets with more options.
