7 ways I grew my business (purely with my expertise)
I don’t have a large following online, but for 10+ years I’ve generated 180K to 500K per year, every year. Here’s my top 7 reasons why I believe this has been possible with extreme consistency since 2012: 1) Less clients, more value 2) Application and interview process 3) Niche in high demand/low competition industries 4) Sell expertise, not time 5) Serve current clients on a deeper level 6) Empty the diary, don’t fill it 7) Mastery More on all 7 👇 1) Less clients, more value I’ve never been good at building a large audience, no matter how hard I try, it never seems to work. I also find it extremely overwhelming to try and sell to 1000 people, I much prefer thinking of “how do I help just 5 people?” This mentality has helped me build my business in my deepest core value, to offer real change and transformation. I can’t do this for 1000 people at a time, but 5 people is 🙏. Naturally, this means charging a premium…. I charge £5000 for my sales community, it’s just one product where all my members have lifetime access to my training, support and they all help one another. It works, so I don’t reinvent it. Each month I open doors to 5 new students. Simples. 2) Application and interview process When selling something for thousands, it only makes sense to guarantee you’re selecting the right clients to work with. The last thing I want is for someone to pay me a lot of money and I end up hating them or they hate me lol. This is why the application and interview process works time and time again. Best of all, applications means extremely qualified leads. So instead of selling and convincing, you're selecting and handpicking the right clients to work 3) Niche in high demand/low competition industries Mostly, I don't work with coaches, copywriters or marketers. A: Most give me a headache (sorry not sorry, although I do have a few who are great clients) B: Everyone and their cat is already selling to them The industries I work with have an extremely high need and demand for what I offer (sales transformation).
