How to Scale Your Business
Two schools of thought exist in regards to “how to scale your business fast.” To scale your business quickly, you can either pour gas on your existing fires or create new ones. Entrepreneurs need to create a business scaling strategy when multiple options to grow are in place or when a plateau appears. To create your business scaling strategy, you first must fix the redundancies and holes in your current systems. There are two simple ways to scale your business that we practice for our clients; which you can see their success stories here.
How to Scale Your Business Fast
- Pour more gasoline on your fire! – Here is what I mean… I recently heard digital marketing expert Frank Kern speak on scaling a consulting and digital products business; he is known to produce $1million in digital product sales in under 24 hours. He suggests keeping things simple when expanding by only taking one path. We are often tempted to expand by adding more products and services to our existing service offering. However, the simplest path to growth is often a straight line. If you have a product/service that is already selling great the quickest way to scale your business fast is to add more quality traffic to your sales funnel. Scaling your business is not a matter of more eyeballs on your product but more of your perfect customer avatar’s eyeballs. One way we practice filling your sales funnel is via facebook adds. If that is working, you should consider other traffic sources like Google Adwords, LinkedIn, Instagram, banner ads, Pinterest, Snapchat, and other platforms. Getting quality traffic to an offer is easy, the harder part is creating an irresistible offer for your target market. This is the fastest way to scale your business quickly. There are some additional ways to scale…
- Sell your fire making process in different markets – Your product or service most likely has additional value to other markets that you have yet to explore. If your product meets the need of your customer avatar, it will most likely meet the needs of others in different locations. The first step is analyzing which markets are most similar to the ones you are already succeeding in.
- Sell the fire, the campground, the gasoline, and the smores – A fantastic business scaling strategy to implement is an ascension model. Our internal revenue increased over 200% when we added upsells to our sales funnels. This means you sell additional products or services that are complementary to what you already do. This is what is known as a basic ascension model for any business online
- Charge More – You can charge more for your existing products and services. However, if you are going to charge more, you must also increase the value. If the demand stays the same at a higher increase in price you have a win. Increasing your price to scale your business requires tracking the numbers ensuring that your overall revenue and profitability are increasing as well. Remember the more you charge, the more value you should create for the customer.
How to Scale Your Business Fast – Ascension Model
The ascension model begins with a lead magnet. A lead magnet is something that you give away for free in exchange for a potential customer’s contact information such as name, phone number, and email. When you have the potential customer’s contact info, show them a low ticket offer and turn them into a buyer right away. This is called a “trip-wire offer.” The trip-wire is something of high value for a low purchase price. When you offer a trip wire you turn a lead into a buyer immediately. Once someone has become a buyer, it is significantly easier to get them to buy again than it is to create a new buyer. So after the customer purchases the trip wire offer, we show them the “core offer.” The core offer is your bread and butter offering in your business; what you are known for.
When your customer doesn’t purchase the trip wire offer or the core offer, send them into a follow-up series to re-engage them with your brand and products. If the prospect doesn’t engage in any of your offerings and you feel your targeting is correct then create a return path for them to engage with other content.
When you create your ascension model, every step needs to dramatically increase the value MORE than what you charge. If you are not doing this, you are not serving your audience fairly. Remember low price doesn’t equal quality or value! You must charge what the market is willing to call fair. This will require price testing at times. The ascension model is the fastest way to scale your business quickly and in a way that creates automation.
Automation is technical so I suggest allowing us to do it for you. You can also request a breakthrough call to learn your next steps to do it on your own. ? This is crucial if you want to know how to make more money in your small business without creating a larger time commitment.
