description Look at all your product lines and markets and find those areas where the margins are the highest and the price pressures the lowest. * What is it about that part of the business that makes it different from the others in the low price arena? * Is it your relationship with the customer? * Is it in a different market niche? * Are you offering a unique product or service to these customers? * Is this part of the business growing? Think of the company that performs routine maintenance on a complex product that offers re-sale and upgrade items or follow-on services at a good (not larcenous) price. * How else can you improve the customer's experience of using your products? * What other complementary markets would it make sense to enter? * Other industries or markets to which your suppliers sell? * Other industries that companies in the chain of purchasing sell to?
