to do well on
Explanation:
Since it's talking about selling products, it's obvious that it means business success, so one option could be to omit "business" as such:

"... this will help us do well on sales of our products."

For example:

"Avago Technologies (up 14 percent) did well on sales of its thin film bulk acoustic resonator filters..."
