Ways to reduce a company's break-even point include1) reducing the amount of fixed costs,2) reducing the variable costs per unit---thereby increasing the unit's contribution margin,3) improving the sales mix by selling a greater proportion of the products having larger contribution margins, and4) increasing selling prices so long as the number of units sold will not decline significantly.

2 options:

1) Reduce your ammount of fixed costs

2) Increase you operational margin

 

As both options are not mutually exclusive, the best is to pursue both (objectives) at the same time
