Teladoc handled almost 10.6 million visits last year, which is up from a little over 4.1 million in 2019.

That's because furniture tends to be a relatively high overhead operating model that's extremely cyclical and dependent on showrooms and customer traffic. Lovesac has shaken up this model in a variety of ways.</p>\n<p>For instance, Lovesac's sactional couches, which accounted for 84.5% of its fiscal 2021 sales, are modular in design so they can work with just about any livable space. Additionally, there are more than 250 different washable covers that can be purchased for sactionals. As the icing on the cake, the yarn used in sactionals is made from recycled plastic water bottles. To summarize, we have ESG investing and an abundance of usability options rolled up into one product.</p>\n<p>Lovesac also showed the world that it doesn't need traditional showrooms to thrive. While having access to brick-and-mortar showrooms and partnerships is still important, internet sales flourished last year with people stuck in their homes. Internet sales were up 86% in the fiscal fourth quarter from the prior-year period, and as a percentage of net sales the internet doubled in importance in fiscal 2021 from the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>Best of all, with e-commerce further reducing overhead costs, Lovesac has become profitable well ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b7171ad1e94a044e4bf64e685148e98b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>Another smart stock that should be able to run circles around Dogecoin over the long run is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>What's CRM software? In the simplest explanation, it's software that helps consumer-facing businesses manage client information in real-time. It can be used to log information and track service issues, as well as handle complex tasks such as managing online marketing campaigns and providing predictive analyses of what existing clients might purchase new products or services. Through at least the midpoint of the decade, CRM solutions should offer double-digit average annual growth potential.</p>\n<p>According to IDC, salesforce sits atop this rapidly growing industry. When it examined global CRM revenue in the first-half of 2020, almost 20% of all market share belonged to salesforce. The next four companies behind it didn't even add up to a 20% global revenue share. This suggests it's going to be really hard for competitors to unseat salesforce from its perch.</p>\n<p>The company hasn't been shy about using acquisitions to expand its moat, either. It's in the process of acquiring cloud-based enterprise communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b> for $27.7 billion in a cash-and-stock deal. If completed, salesforce can use Slack as a platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions to small-and-medium-sized businesses.</p>\n<p>Marc Benioff, the CEO of salesforce, aims to grow his company's sales from $21.3 billion in fiscal 2021 to more than $50 billion in five years.
