Business Shift

Sometimes you have to let go of some business to get more and better business.

Consider Entech, an information technology company in Fort Myers. The company sold its residential computer-repair business in 2010 so it could focus on corporate accounts.

It wasn't easy because the recession was in full swing. Entech had built its business by driving to people's homes and fixing their personal computers. Jake Spanberger is blunt about those days: “2009 was our worst year,” says the president of the company.
