First off, have you checked the adjustment of the pressure switch? If not, please go to the answer at http://www.fixya.com/support/t6375131-pressure_switch which provides details.
If that doesn't solve the problem because the pump won't provide the pressure, it depends on many factors. Assuming you have the correct pump for your well and system, the pressure/flowrate will also depend on the nozzle and venturi installed in the ejector set down the well. The ejector set comes with a table which offers the chance to increase flow or pressure. Assuming you have the correct jet/venturi for your pump and well depth, there is a simple routine which should be followed at startup of the pump the first time. Close the control valve which is a plastic threaded rod sticking out above the pump fittings coming from the well. Screw it right in. Ensure the pump is primed and that all plugs and faucets etc are closed. Then run the pump and while it is running, unscrew the control valve until the pressure gauge needle flutters. Screw the control valve closed until the fluttering stop and then at least a quarter turn. This provides your optimum pressure/flow for the depth of well, the nozzle and venturi installed. If this still doesn't provide the pressure you require, you may need to swap out the ejector set nozzle and venturi and then re-adjust.
