Design your business as a system, not an afterthought
Your business is unmanageable chaos because it is composed of methods and people that are not part of the processes born from a strategy built on a clear vision. They simply perform tasks assigned to them by you on a case by case basis.
Sales, marketing, fulfillment, delegating, etc., are words describing thousands of strategies—most of them good... in the right context, properly interconnected. Stop searching for the best strategy. Start implementing the best strategies in the context of your entire vision.
There are no best strategies. There are best strategies for you.
Sales, marketing, fulfillment, delegating, etc., are words containing thousands of strategies—most of them good... in the right context, properly interconnected. Every main process in your business should have it's strategy driven purpose.
Sales is a process. Getting Clients is a strategy driven purpose.
Marketing is a process. Building Authority is a strategy driven purpose.
Up-Selling is a process. Generating Profits after the first sale is a strategy driven purpose.
Automating & Delegating are processes. Creating Operational Separation for the founder is a strategy driven purpose.
Stop searching for the best sales, marketing etc. strategy. Search for the best strategy for your purpose.
If you only get customers, you will never build a sustainable business.
While customers may contribute to sales, it is the true clients who drive profitability and long-term growth. Customers purchase products or services occasionally, often driven by convenience or price. They contribute to sales but typically account for only a fraction of a company's profits.
In contrast, true clients are those who engage with a brand consistently, exhibit loyalty, and often advocate for the business within their networks. They are the backbone of profitability, contributing significantly more to the bottom line than transient customers.
They behave differently. They are acquired differently. You should not expect strong client base as a result of customer focused sales strategies.
If you focus on attention, your marketing costs will grow without a limit.
Attention brings eyes, authority brings clients.
The allure of capturing the spotlight can be intoxicating, leading companies to pour resources into campaigns designed to grab the public's focus. However, this approach build thin, mostly transactional relationship between potential clients and your company. It's great for getting customers, but not clients.
For clients to enter a long relationship with you, they must trust you. You can't just trick them into buying. The key to sustainable success lies not just in capturing attention, but in cultivating authority.
Companies that focus solely on capturing attention find themselves trapped in an endless cycle of escalating expenses, as attention is fleeting and changes it's focus rapidly.
On the other hand, authority is enduring. It is built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and reliability. Clients seek out authoritative brands not just for their products or services, but for the confidence and expertise they represent.
If you pause after first purchase, you will never tap into a real potential of your Clients and will fail soon.
A first sale is a starting point for real profits to be made on an newly acquired client, not a moment for a pause. Easily 3/4 of your sales and even more of your profits can be made after first sale.
To cultivate true clients, businesses must implement relationship building and up-selling strategies. But they will not work if sales and marketing strategies are not tailored for this.
If you will not separate yourself from operations you will have no life and a scale you could have.
When you develop a working way of getting Clients, Authority and Profits you absolutely need to Separate yourself from those processes. Then you can consider Scaling your business beyond yourself.
