In Bigger & Better, multi-industry C-suite executive Esther Kestenbaum Prozan shares her proven system for creating lean, exponential growth. By being laser-focused on acquiring the right customers, maximizing non-transactional sales, and building owned channels, you can keep profits instead of relying on paid advertising or an enormous sales team's salary to grow your enterprise value. Applying the principles in this insightful playbook not only helps ensure survival in any economic climate, it takes your business from infancy to adulthood, and beyond.
